Watch This Before you Buy the xTool F1 Ultra!!

[@rirsz]

Glad you are enjoying it. Try turning the black metal base 90 degrees so the ridges flow into the fan, it should increase the airflow and keep some of the junk from settling in the ridges.

Hey thanks for the tip.

[@Drifter64]

Had my F1 Ultra / Conveyor for 3 months now, great machine - It's addictive... I've uploaded some example vids on my Channel which also has some using the xTool S1 - Have fun 😁 👍

[@MoonpieCreations]

I'll check it out! Thanks.

Thank you.

Things haven't changed big Sarge - you're still a goof! ;)

[@MoonpieCreations]

haha, Hey Mychal. Hope you are doing good. BTW Tell your brother hello for me.

[@WASTEDROMAD]

@@MoonpieCreations Thanks, I'm doing well, I think. ;) I'm up in Alaska, and about to finally push the button. If you ever need a vacation, my door is always open - it's been too long. I hope you're doing well too. I'll let my brother know you said hi.

[@theVariedLife]

Thanks for the video. Does this have a switch for power voltage selection? I know it works with 110 but wondering if it works on 220v. TIA

[@MoonpieCreations]

It runs on 25w 11amp power., the power brick converts it. You can buy the EU version here www.xtool.eu/products/xtool-f1-ultra-20w-fiber-diode-dual-laser-engraver?ref=MPC&

[@keithyinger3326]

I have a 10 watt blue diode laser right now and it's super handy and fun. I would love to have a fiber laser and be able to depth engrave onto bronze. That price tag for only 20 w seems a bit high though. I've seen advertisements on my Facebook for cloud Ray lasers and they have a 20w fiber laser for 1699. Almost half of the xtool. Still putting money in the bank for one but I'll definitely be doing some investigating before I spend that much money on a laser.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I would say the price tag for this is due to the Diode laser and the Fiber being in one machine. I am sure that price tag could come down after a while. The F1 with the 2w IR laser was the same way when it first came out. It was around $2500 when it came out now it's around $1500. Portability is key here. With both machines in one it help when lugging them around to shows and other places. Either way you go investigating which is best for you and your pocket book is best. Plus Black Friday is coming up soooooooo maybe they will have a big sale. Good luck on your decision.

[@keithyinger3326]

@@MoonpieCreations yeah I completely agree about the price coming down over time. I mean two and a half years ago or so when I bought my 10 W diode laser I paid around $600 to $700 for it. Now you can pick up a 10 watt diode for a couple hundred bucks. I have a Longer Ray5 laser and it's been a great machine. I did have one issue about 5 months after I bought it where the laser just lost about 40% of its power. Send the company's customer service and email and they had me use a certain settings and record a video trying to cut something and showing them the failure and they sent me a new module. Other than that I've had no issues with it. I'm not sure what other people's experiences have been with longer lasers but mine at least with this machine have been nothing but good. Minus that one issue but customer service was great about replacing it for free, so I can't really complain too awfully much about that. The only difference being the original machine shipped from California to Washington where I live, and the replacement laser module shipped straight from China. Not to mention since the very beginning it seemed to cut funny. It would leave gooey, sticky tar behind on the stainless table underneath. To the point where you really didn't want to accidentally drop something or it would stick and you'd have sticky tar on the bottom of your piece. Ever since I got the new module, it still leaves a black residue behind underneath but it's not sticky and tarry like it was before. Same settings and same wood. Only thing that changed was the laser module. I'm kind of wondering if it just got banged around so much getting shipped from China to whatever warehouse it sat in and then to California or wherever else it may have gotten shipped around before it finally made it to me.

Don’t worry bud the misses told me it’s the motion of the ocean not the size of the boat

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha Love it!

[@bubbatriclopsballistics]

Ken I don’t know if you’ve done this yet or at least I don’t remember seeing a video where you did but I’d love to see what kind of Shogi board you’d make. I’ve had a black red and orange Idea in my head for a while but I’m not good at it just figured I’d give you the Idea!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, I didn't even now what that is.

[@bubbatriclopsballistics]

@@MoonpieCreations it’s like chess and checkers had a baby, beautiful artwork on most but I’ve never seen a epoxy one made just figured I’d throw you an idea to try if you wanted play boards 9x9 squares

[@oorcinus]

At 8:47, what's all the odd ghosting / light gray fill on the TACP crest? Was that part of the logo or an artifact from the lasering?

[@MoonpieCreations]

That was shadowing in the file. I have since edited it.

[@oorcinus]

@@MoonpieCreations Awesome, thanks! I saw some reports of ghosting issues with early firmware revisions and was trying to figure out if that's resolved or not. This helps!

[@ugoturco8423]

Portable but heavy with air purifier and beefy price to be moved around

[@MoonpieCreations]

True. I wish they would have released it with the carrier case for it. It would make it a lot easier to take places.

[@johnnyho900]

Stay cool

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks!

[@Graeme758]

Sorry, had to give up after 3 minutes of 'embozzing'. It's mboSSing, ffs.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Bahahaha it take sooooooo long. I have not done it since the video.

Haha, okay
