Get it here: bit.ly/xtool-f1-ultra And check the video description for a link to download the project files used in this video! (use discount code "xToolJT" for additional discount) (some links in the description can be affiliate links, I get a small commission which helps me make these detailed videos and giveaways!)

12:37 It looks like the problem with the batch mode is that the camera is right at the back of the build area (2:34) and so it's seeing a top-down view of objects at the back but a perspective view of objects near the front. Should be possible to correct that distortion in software, but it'll throw off edge detection.

Heya! I just finished watching Monport GA60. Love your videos. I like the XTool F1 ultra, but I feel like I would get much more from a GA60, for the money. What do you think? I'm mainly looking for quick PCB prototyping, stencil making. Also my wife has a CO2 laser, loves doing crafts with it so she's also going to be using it for whatever she likes to do I guess.

@@tdragon87 thanks! For PCBs and stencils a MOPA fiber laser is much better. F1 Ultra is very versatile but doesn't compare to a 60W MOPA fiber in terms of power for working on metals

Can the fiber laser cut a 1mm thick copper sheet?

@JTMakesIt 4 ай бұрын

It might be able to do it, but it will take a VERY long time. I don't recommend cutting things thicker than 0.3mm for practical applications.

These reviews always show anodised aluminum, do you have any tests on non anodised?

@@Xtafa maybe in my review of the regular F1 or the ComMarker B4 20W which has similar fiber source. It produces white frosted engraving on raw aluminum.

Dear JT, I would like to ask you to make an experiment with engraving copper, mainly PCBs, with the diode laser. Copper has higher absorption for shorter wavelengths. That is why I assume that engraving copper should be more effective with the diode laser which has shorter wavelength compared to the fiber laser which emits at longer wavelength. Thank you so much. Kind Regards, Pavel

Hi, I have already tried that. Blue laser doesn't mark copper at all no matter the power. It also doesn't work on brass, raw aluminum, zinc, chrome... For metals you need infrared laser

@@JTMakesIt Hi, Thank you very much! Elsewhere, you will find an information: "450nm laser is an ideal light source for processing non-ferrous metals such as gold, copper and copper alloys". In my view, your bad experience in engraving copper using blue laser is based on the fact that the blue diode laser is usually a non-pulsed one, it is a continuous wave (CW) laser. On the other hand, the infrared fiber lasers are pulsed ones and therefore their superior performance compared to CW lasers. It would be very interesting to see the performance of a BLUE PULSED fiber laser, however, such lasers are rare. Thanks a lot again. Kind Regards, Pavel

@@PavelZahradnik-p4l I think pulsed blue laser would be very dangerous for the eye. And yes, pulses give fiber lasers the ability to vaporize metal, since the individual pulses can reach ranges of 10kW of optical power. On the other hand, fiber lasers can't mark wood which I find interesting
