I use the test grid maker from XCS. Look on my channel I did a tutorial how to create them

So lower power or faster speed doesn't mean garbage. A consistent machine will make the engraving with no problems just not as define. I've been using multiple machines so is not like I have no idea what would happen. Also why is not firing at 10% power. Because it is not needed? Based on your input it is not full blast power wind do good. That is not how lasers.work tho

I use the default with smart on this test. The next metal test is going full manual and nothing Xtool smart for sure. Normally the smart path takes longer on everything

Thank you for watching

I comment that portability is not really about weight it is more on how sturdy that machine is.

Remember that this fix is a video from xtool the link for the official guide is on the description

@@AlivePixelCreates So did you request and receive a new shield from xTool?

@@georgeheleine5209 no I try to adjust it. I did adjust the shield after is a lot better now but still a tiny gap unser

@@AlivePixelCreates Thank you for the reply, I enjoy your videos and they are very informative.

@@georgeheleine5209 thank you so much for watching and for your support

seems like they push the product out yes, and they definitely didn't test enough the final design, is a nice machine and with some works around seems to be all they promise (almost) but is on an early stage for sure.

Check the link on description or scan the QR the video that is the official Xtool gide.

Unacceptable on a safety item.

Yeah is so sad that is happening It is unreal that they have not check before sending machines out

yeah the screw part was for sure frustrating. hope is just me tho

I'm uploading a video on my attempt to fix it based on xtool support page.

I'm finishing F1 ultra videos and doing a whole tutorial with the maker ;)

Was by user that said is portable i mistake the company comments but is by users and I don't think is portable

If you buy the map on Etsy you need to work on it and it is from $5 to $9 or even more per map with 3 layers. If you get the basic subscription you can make 76, 3 layer maps with a cost of $1.6 on your entire 3 layer project. In my book that is a win.

@@AlivePixelCreates Thanks

Put it on perspective if you work in a lake map ( not buy from Etsy work in yours) and take.you 1 to two hours. You put on one single map $30 on time being really conservative, and you pay for a full year $115.20… each map can have up to 5 layers not only the lake and a couple things and you get it ready in minutes .

I noticed that. That is a bad design tho.

@@AlivePixelCreates it's quite annoying for sure.

Oh and I thought my unit was defective. It’s a common thing I guess

@@lasersandbeyond its the same issue on on f1, I never use handle to close it, just to open it

The issues with your bear engraving are less due to firmware issues the more to user issues. You selected settings for score and then changed it to engrave and then said you wanted to go crazy and jump the speed up to 7,000. When you just throw settings at the wall and hope for something to stick, you really can't blame firmware for the outcome.

The material is amazing

Doesn't seem right that is advertised as portable yes is a cube but shield is not the best for that. Yes you can take it because it is not heavy but that doesn't make it portable in my opinion.

@AlivePixelCreates it's light enough to carry easily and takes less than 5 minutes to set up. What more do you need to make it be considered "portable"?

​@@lasersandbeyondCoffee makers are lighter and set up in 1 minute and they are not portable. Depends.on the person I guess.

It is not advertised as portable by xTool. People that have bought it said it is portable.

@@michelejaeb2787 no but users are saying it is and that is why I said is not really portable in my opinion

First impression fail with the test engraving. I'm testing more materials making a lot of test grids and is not exactly great so far

​@@AlivePixelCreatesI'm confused about how this fails your test engraving when you literally just threw settings at it? You pulled settings for a score, then changed to engrave And then said you were going to go crazy and change the speed to 7000. You can hardly consider that a test at all.

@@JaccobbRomero is scratch paper Jacob if with settings that other brands use this fails what you want me.to say that is ok give it more passes so will be fine? Just didn't do it on a vector over scratch paper. And the test business card is the same. I'm posting a follow up video of a stress test on the ultra. No one likes the ugly I get it. But just happen.

I think processing by hand cost a lot more than this tool for the cost of selling and the time you save on each work or project is well worth it. Ultimately like a lot of designers some software is included on pricing for their prices and this should be no different.

Normally pricing is something that can be transferred to customers. Definitely I always need to think about cost benefits and more importantly how many I can make by hand or with a software

I've been using professional software ally life and I have to say that other software that my business uses is 3k per year. For a couple hundred years I can make a lot of money saving time.

I got mine on a local craft store

Thank you for watching

Agreed, as soon as I see that adobe style pricing Im out.

yep, I would have paid 50-100.00 for this software but wont even pay 1.00 a month. even a pay to upgrade system is better than subs. this is the Affinity vs Adobe model. they picked the wrong one for me :D looks like rly cool software though.

I'm not a fan of subscriptions but cost benefit. My time is more important specially on laser work. I can make the map I need.in a couple minutes and work on something else instead fixing lines for 1 or 2 hours. I understand that is not probably the cheapest or something but definitely will do the trick to save time.

It really is cool on the basic subscription a 3 layer map comes to about $1.6 compared to the $5 or more on Etsy for the file.

Hi. I still haven't had luck with a decent price on the camera. :(

Hi I did a couple test and yes the 30w is for big cutting while the 10w is really details engraving and cutting. The 40w from stool is the same since it is a very hot laser creating charring and won't let you do small details. Is like comparing a mini-torch and a flamethrower.

@@AlivePixelCreates Very interesting what you said that the Xtool 40W can't engrave very detailed. On their official website they say that the laser spot is 0.08*0.10 mm, for Xtool 40W. Compared to Roly 30W the laser spot is significantly larger. For comparison Roly 30W has a much larger spot 0.06 x 0.14 in the 10W version, and in the 30W version the spot is 0.30 x 0.12. I wonder how is it possible that Roly can engrave much more detailed than Xtool, having such a large spot compared to Xtool? Thanks for sharing! All the best!

@@MihaiMihai-zw4rz yup look Cobey Schmid with geeks at Large he did a video showing different laser power and how small and detail jobs get affected

They are on my website alivepixelcreates.com

All desktop lasers should be considered hobby machines. That doesn't mean that will not work for production or hard work days lol I use my rolly a lot and is hooked to a professional small air purifier in my office. Go to our website and if you use the affiliate links we have we will send you also a set of free jigs of your choice :)

You can actually add any laser module that you want if you buy for example a 5 watt laser that is the cheapest you can swap the head once you buy a 40 watt laser

Dot duration 100 1-85 power 500dpi 1pass

Diode laser can't cut that sorry

Yeah I kind of like the look of it tho

You need to turn of smart function and organize your layers

Hi, thank you for your support. Laser type: Blue Light Power: 100% Speed:40mm/s Lines: 100 Pass: 1 please note that 100 lines works when is text for designs or fine details you might need to increase the number to 200 or more.

@@AlivePixelCreates thank you so much! I look forward to seeing what you make next

@@Crisps_Crafts Thank you :)

I been a long time, and the supplier is still working on a price, and is a large buy to keep it low.

I'm making one for a 200mm width that should be out very soon

Select the object, right click and lock

Is to the object no to the layer

@@AlivePixelCreates I did not even look for it. It is in XCS 2.0. THX!!!!

Lol

He Is working on the adapter since the ultra uses a different connector. That is always with xtool. If you have one button it will never work with the next machine so you need to buy a new one. I think they are coming with an adapter after a lot of complaints.

Thank you so much for watching

Don't worry about "messing up", that is the best way to learn.....🐾

That usually happens when the laser is too slow.

Only opaque not clear

Gracias por ser parte del canal y déjame saber en qué te puedo ayudar.

@@AlivePixelCreates putting together an order for several jigs
