XTOOL D1 Pro 40W Laser Module Upgrade Guide, Installation, Creative Space and Fume Extraction

In this video I will walk you through the installation of the XTOOL D1 Pro 40W laser upgrade. We will go from the unboxing all the way through assembly and onto processing sample jobs. I have tried to be as thorough and detailed as possible in this 40W setup guide and I even have new upgrades and accessories available for your XTOOL D1 Pro.
@xToollaser sent me the D1 Pro 40W model to test and I've been impressed with the power available in a 40W diode laser. In one of the sample jobs covered in this video I was able to cut through stainless steel shim stock as well as 19mm (3/4") plywood.

Always remember to practice proper laser safety. These lasers can seriously harm you directly (your eyes) or indirectly (your lungs and health). ALWAYS wear your safety glasses! By-products from processing certain materials can be toxic and harm you. DO NOT CUT vinyl materials like PVC. Check this list for hazardous materials before cutting something:

Very good video as usual. I really like the switch for the RA2

[@EmbraceMaking]

Thanks annamal, hope you get the chance to check it out on my website as well!

[@michaelmcqueen8001]

Awesome video as usual! Keep up the great work.

[@port3973]

Dude, you are really good, thanks

[@EmbraceMaking]

I appreciate that!

[@aaronnathan9755]

I believe if you are using creative space, you can highlight your entire project and use the combine tab. This makes the entire image as 1 process then you can add your passes. This will make it complete the full project before starting 2nd passes.

[@EmbraceMaking]

Awesome tip, I'll have to give that a try!

[@damianrobinson422]

Ok, one more. Can the 10w cut super thin on paper and thin wood or can this be done on 40w

[@EmbraceMaking]

I don't see why not. I can test it for you but you should just be able to just dial the power down very low and it would be fine for thin materials

[@damianrobinson422]

@@EmbraceMaking thanks

[@damianrobinson422]

Stupid question but can t the 40w operate at the 10 and 20w or you have to have all the moduals?

[@EmbraceMaking]

Hi Damian, sorry I'm a little confused by your question. What do you mean by operate at the 10W and 20W ? Do you mean just add the 40W module to the 10W and 20W machine? Or?

[@damianrobinson422]

@@EmbraceMaking can the 40w operate aa a 10 or 10w laser or are the Mods locked and you have to switch them out for different materials thickness?

[@EmbraceMaking]

You can just adjust the % of power down in the software. So for example 25% power on the 40W module would be like 100% power on the 10W module. Basically if you have the 40W module you can do anything the 10 or 20W can do and more

[@damianrobinson422]

@@EmbraceMaking good. I dont feel like switching out mods just to do something that requires certain amounts of power

[@EmbraceMaking]

Nope you won't have to, although if for some reason you ever do want to mount the smaller lasers, they will physically fit onto the new carriage and gantry
