I did not use the wooden blocks because I have the honeycomb riser base. But the blocks should work!

It is 3 mm thick (so close to 1/8). I think 1/4 would be too thick for a layered topper.

I totally understand! I agree that it is daunting which has led me not to experiment with it just yet. There is a Facebook group for each of the machines and I have found some great information about full wraps for people in there!

@@momenvy yeah I'm a member of one and a guy even made a template where you angle the cup and it still didn't work

I am unsure of how long the pens or ink would last because so far, they have not run out for me. I have printed multiple full-page size images and haven't had to replace the cartridge. I have not used the pens a lot so it's hard for me to judge their longevity. But I do know that the Cricut pens also work with the machine (and you can find them on sale a lot, especially at Michaels!) I had no issue aligning the ink cartridge. The ink currently is about $32 (affiliate link: www.xtool.com/products/xtool-m1-ultra-ink-cartridge?ref=msdtV1Y70_j4bw&)

are you saving the images from the Canva template? Or do you mean if you print just photos from your phone of people? Sorry, just need more info! Thanks!

@@momenvy Im saving the images from Canva

@@momenvy I am saving the images from the Canva template, sorry for not clarifying

Oh no! I got it on Amazon but I also know that Walmart sells this version most of the time. From my Amazon orders, this is what I ordered: amzn.to/4b6bZUM (affiliate link) BUT they could have possibly replaced it with another version that's different now?

It depends on what type of material the lunch box is. Most likely, no, it wouldn't work. But, you could use the cutting blade to cut vinyl for a lunch box!

Yes! If it is stainless steel you can do engrave it. Stainless works best for engraving with the M1 Ultra. Just avoid mirror stainless.

It comes with a 12 month warranty and an option to purchase a plan for it to last longer than 12 months. I have always gotten decent responses from customer service the couple of times I have needed it but in all honesty, use the Facebook group the most for questions for all of my xTool lasers becauses 9/10 I can find an answer by searching the groups without even having to ask anyone a question!

You do need to switch modules but you can switch them without moving the item - there is a setting in the machine for using 2 modules. It has you do step one, switch the module, then do step 2. I have a project planned to showing doing 2 steps with the laser!

@@lauraburton5965 thatll be good! im mostly intyerested in the printing on slate, mdf ad plywood, then using the laser to cut out the mdf and wood, but the chaging modules is a slight worry!

Sorry about the delay! I used Pink Crush and Aqua crush! I purchased it here - tidd.ly/4cPbLCK

Oh no! What type of acrylic are you using? Is it transparent in any way? If so, it unfortunately will not cut. Let me know what type of acrylic and color you're working with so I can give you some tips.

Have you updated your software or firmware?? I am hearing some people are having issues with the latest update and are having to go back (where possible) to the last version instead. I haven’t updated yet because I am nervous if it will cause issues for me. I bet if that is the issue, they’ll probably come out with another update to fix it soon!!

- sorry I replied from my personal account I use for my kids when they’re on RUclips, this is still Laura!

Sorry for the delay - it is 3mm thick

They came with the honeycomb from XTool!

You don't need to, but I do. I have actually found that it helps keep soot down on ALL of my projects including engraving. I figured if I have it, might as well use it!

thanks for replying.

You can find the Guess Who Board here - amzn.to/4b6bZUM (affiliate link) It's actually really easy to set the pictures up in the board. You cut them out and then just slip them in. The directions are in the box for how to slip the pictures in.

@@momenvy Thank you very much I always wanted to make one your video really made it easy and simple

I have not yet tried to engrave acrylic - it is on my list. BUT I have read in the M1 group of people being able to with no problem.

Oh no! I suggest buying an inexpensive tumbler and then doing a test grid on it to see what setting is best. If it's burning, it means your power is too high or you're going too slow (both can cause it to burn). If you have an M1 (or another xTool machine), you can get free test grids on their website!

Sorry for the delay! The 3M tape (which is what I think you mean) is from Amazon in this video because I needed it quickly for another project. But, since then, I actually have purchased it from Adhesive Ninja (on Facebook)

Sorry for the delay - I honestly use the honeycomb for most everything. It's what I always have set up in my machine and it's easier just to stick with it... plus, being able to use the clips to keep the items in places make it so much easier.

Sorry for the delay! I still haven't done a full wrap on a chuck - it's on my list but I keep putting off trying it 😬 I only make things for myself/family and just haven't had a full wrap I have wanted to do yet.

Hi Katie! It is free on xTool's website. I downloaded it there for free :)

I got mine from ModfyBuild on ETSY. He has some great Cast Acrylic options!

Just basic acrylic paint. I used what I had on hand - I use lots of brands, I focus more on color than brand name. That includes brands like Folk Art, Apple Barrel, Michael's generic paint, etc.

It is 1/8 inch

Not yet! I have plans to do one but haven't tackled it yet. In my research, I have read that it is best to use the chuck. In the one tutorial I also read it is best not to use the honeycomb because it's thickness can make it more difficult and to make sure to unite everything so it is one design vs. multiple layers.

I think as long as it is cast acrylic, it is very possible! I know white is the hardest color for many to cut with a diode but I have heard lots of success stories. I have not attempted it yet unfortunately so I can't speak from experience.

I’ve cut white cast acrylic with my m1 I do 5 passes

I actually did this the second time I made the toppers! It definitely made it a LOT easier.

May be a long shot, but do you have a visual of the process you’re stating or know of a video on YT that shows what you mean?

@@whuwatwinwear6786no, but imagine this if you will. In XCS, enter your text. Then place a rectangle around it. Cut the letters and the rectangle. Attach adhesive to the letters but not the rectangle. Place the rectangle down where you want to place the letters. Place your letters that now have adhesive on them in their original holes in the rectangle one by one. They are not perfectly spaces where you want them.

sorry for the delay! It appears when you choose laser cylindrical in your settings in place of laser slats flat, etc. Make sure you aren't clicked on anything so those settings appear (if you are clicked on the design, you will see the design settings instead).

You can use any app that takes an interactive PDF. I use Goodnotes but other apps can use it as well (Notability, ZoomNotes, Zinnia, Noteshelf and more!)

It goes with the basic, inexpensive version of the game. You can get more info about the board I used and see what it looks like here - momenvy.co/guess-who-board-game-template-free/

I apologize with how late this response is... I think in this case, your best bet is to print one thing on one side of the paper and then figure out which way to put the paper back into your printer so that when it comes out, it prints in the correct spot... I hope this makes sense! I wouldn't print front to back automatically because most printers will print at the same top corner which means it'll print incorrectly. I think you have to just print each side on it's own. Unfortunately, it's hard to give any more specific advice because every printer is so different.

I created it in Silhouette Studio - I find it easier to create my designs in the Silhouette program and save them as an SVG (it's just due to my comfort from using it for so many years).

I apologize with how late this response is... unfortunately no, you can't cut out previously printed items. You could try but I am not sure it would be super accurate.
