XTOOL D1 PRO 20 WATT DIODE LASER

[@eduardodiasnunes941]

Hi! I have a 100W CO2 laser cutting machine that suits my needs very well. What I basically need to know is two pieces of information that I haven't found in any demo yet. Diode laser operational lifetime. How many hours do I work? The second question is: in a single pass do I actually cut how many mm of wood and at what power x time?. My problem with CO2 is that it takes up a lot of space and is also very heavy. This causes me trouble. Thanks.

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

What a difference a year makes in technology. Hasn't been *that* long since the 10W was top dog. One suggestion... I've always heard it's better to use mm/min w/ diodes and mm/s for CO2. However, with diodes getting stronger that convention may blur or disappear.

[@TripodsGarage]

The power is amazing! LightBurn was setup to mm/s

[@gilbertboyer9936]

What were the settings for the cutting board please? Thank you for showing us the fully work as well. When we mess up, we feel that we are the only ones making mistakes. It is encouraging knowing that you don't get it right first time every time. Thank for a good presentation.

[@Falinzin]

I bought the Pro 10w... the increased laser size of the 20w worried me a bit with some of the finer resolution details I work on, looks like I'll be purchasing a 20w laser module as well!

[@TripodsGarage]

Yeah! This is a real power house! I came away very, very impressed.

[@frankb.3556]

Do you find you can't as fine detail with the 20w as compared to their 10w since 20w has wider beam?

[@bhutch216]

You’re talking about 3/1000ths of inch difference. You wouldn’t even be able to see the difference with the naked eye. .08mm (3/1000”) vs .15mm (6/1000”)

Looks like a great tool and can print the real sam waffles. My past experience with a laser engraver (elks maker) was very disappointing - made me get into 3D printing - this looks like it could really do things that I want to do - like actually cut wood. Thanks fro the review and now my dogs want a waffle.

[@TripodsGarage]

Sam Waffles 😂😂. Yeah, these lasers have come a long ways! This such an impressive machine, so much power than I’m used to. That is my affiliate link in the description, if you do decide to order. That can help pay for the cutting board and stainless steel mug I destroyed 😂😂. Bear and Oreo look forward to my laser reviews, they always get some food 🤔.

[@cmtravis13]

Great video John, now I cannot wait until the end of the month for mine to ship.

[@TripodsGarage]

Cannot wait to see what you make!

[@SaltCityFab]

Do you need the air assist compressor if you already have a shop compressor?

[@azerreza4770]

I like the picture of a dog wearing protection. :-)

[@pezliz]

I want more colour-coded screws in things I have to put together!

[@TripodsGarage]

It is such a great idea!

[@theshepherd8036]

Great review! I love your in depth explanations. I have an xTool D1 PRO and I am hoping I see the comparison with the Sculpfun S30 PRO MAX 20W😁

[@buildersmark]

Wow they went all out on color photo. You always have great videos. Very well done.

[@TripodsGarage]

Yeah, they really did nail it on looks, power, and performance! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RankinImagery]

Risers included with purchase? No additional cost?

[@TripodsGarage]

They are not included with the standard purchase. The risers are $9 for a set of four.

[@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL]

20w is mad considering my Omtech k40 laser is 40w

[@TripodsGarage]

Yeah, this there is no shady marketing here. This is a true 20w laser diode, and does it perform!

[@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL]

@@TripodsGarage I think I may consider purchasing one myself.. my k40 laser has so many restrictions in terms of workable area. Great video and love your work... Specially on the Death Racers detailing

[@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL]

Oh P.S any chance of sending Sam a care package containing Pancakes and fruit hahaha the UK just doesn't cut it for him bless him hahahaha

[@TripodsGarage]

@@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL - Thanks bud! I will need to make a video on the hydrographics. I have been super impressed with xTool and their products. If you are looking to purchase, that is my affiliate link in my description, any little bit helps with purchasing consumables. Thanks again for the compliments!

[@Townie001]

Before you get excited check the price and compare to 40w co2 laser which is much better,and about the same price.

[@TripodsGarage]

I agree, this laser isn’t for everyone. However, you should see what works best for you. Budget, what materials you want to cut or engrave, and how much space you have. There isn’t one laser that does it all.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

You're not going to cut much more than 5mm ply with a 40W CO2 laser.

[@danielleraymond9470]

It’s good for leather?

[@TripodsGarage]

Works great on leather. However, it does stink, I would suggest a well vented area. Even better would be using their enclosure with an exhaust. I will be reviewing in at couple weeks.

[@grumpywoodchucker]

Lot's of good info in this one!!

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@grumpywoodchucker]

@@TripodsGarage can’t wait to get mine!

[@TripodsGarage]

@@grumpywoodchucker - I am happy for you! It is amazing! So powerful 👍.

[@peffken8834]

thx man - for sharing that informations and experiences!

[@TripodsGarage]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

Atomstack X20 Pro is $400 cheaper than the model you reviewed and INCLUDES an air assist pump. It's $100 cheaper than the black X1 Pro 20W. I don't see any significant differences between what the 2 machines can do, so I guess I'd go with Atomstack.

[@TripodsGarage]

It is your choice what you purchase. Happy engraving 👍

[@Fanaticalfentons]

Great video John. This is one super impressive laser engraver. The power is mind blowing!

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks Karl! This has to be the most impressive 455nm diode laser I have ever seen and tested. Plus it also looks amazing!

[@Fanaticalfentons]

@@TripodsGarage it does look great! Xtool have really upped the game for others to try and keep up!!

[@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL]

Super Cool another great video 🙏 hope your well 🤟🤟

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@melgross]

I enjoyed your presentation.

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@Firstleaker]

Wow! That is one beautiful laser! It is also very powerful 👍. I might just order one. Thanks for the video

[@LisaHarsh]

I bought one a month ago. I’m sort of annoyed because this would be about same price.

[@TripodsGarage]

Yeah, I hear you! I have purchased many items, only to see a refresh of something better in a few months. I used to have a major car addiction. I would trade in my car every 1.5 - 2 years.

[@rockymtnmovies]

Nice review. Your sound is a bit hot and blown out.

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks! Odd, I spend a lot of time balancing my audio. I listen with headphones, and on two separate computers before upload. Will look into it more. Thanks 👍

[@papapowertoday]

Bear is a pro

[@TripodsGarage]

Yes he is!

[@pfiltz]

219 minutes for a tumbler ? Was that correct?

[@TripodsGarage]

That was correct! The side of the tumbler that was a little deformed, that was the 219min. Too much power, and too slow. The other side, was half the time. Now, this was without using any assistance like using Brilliance spay. You use something like that, you can drastically decrease the time. Most likely you will be able to complete a tumbler in 25min.

[@pfiltz]

@@TripodsGarage Thanks for the info. We just bought a ThunderLaser 60W CO2 for the plant here, and I've been thinking of getting a diod type for home.

[@bhutch216]

I do full 360 degree 40 oz water bottles in the 10W D1. They take about 4 hours and I am able to get them seamless.

[@TripodsGarage]

Will need to look it up! During which part of the video?

[@1-Nice-Guy]

I don't care for reviews for products that are given to the reviewer for free.

[@TripodsGarage]

For free? What rate do you charge for your time?

[@1-Nice-Guy]

@@TripodsGarageLOL!

[@TripodsGarage]

@@1-Nice-Guy - What? You cannot answer?

[@1-Nice-Guy]

@@TripodsGarage what's there to answer? You are reviewing a very expensive laser that was given to you for free, why are you getting so defensive? There are other reviewers that purchase items with their own money and post reviews. What do I charge...LOL! Oh...and some of the better reviewers give away the products after they review them.

[@TripodsGarage]

@@1-Nice-Guy - I am not getting defensive. It is a very simple question that you have yet to answer. Clearly you have an issue with products that are sent out for people to review, and felt the need to comment. I never said I charged anything, which I don’t. Clearly your time isn’t valuable, and you cannot put a number even it is for work purposes.

[@dragonpens72]

I made it through the first few minutes. Next time, try to be a bit less childish and condescending.

[@TripodsGarage]

Don’t see where I was condescending. However, in today’s society guess anything can be. Good thing there is plenty of other videos you can watch that might be a good fit for you 👍

[@InThisStyleGMinor]

The waffle engraving LOL 🤣 Brilliant

I didn’t have any pancakes 😂👍
