Hi you are great at explaning how to use the tool. I want to ask if you use the air purifier in the place of the air assist or the large x tool air machine. not sure what its called thanks. Im looking for another option to clean the air.
Fabulous video and very helpful for a beginner...I'm about to embark on my first tumbler so I'm sure you'll be in the background to help me lol..thank you so much for your time to do this
This helped a ton thank you! I'm having issues with light colored tumblers smudging with the black when I go to clean them off... Any tips to avoid that? Using Mr clean white eraser and I've used the awesome spray 😢
Have you tried other size tumblers? My M1 will not correctly engrave any size I try and separates the svg and smears it all over the cup...I am burning through a clients YETI tumblers and I am so disappointed in this xtool that I am about to return it for a refund. Thought I would ask before returning it
I just got everything setup per your video, my image is a jpg from svg less than 1MB it is taking forever to render a preview so I can start it, is that normal? It's stuck
If I need to laser cut anything- I use my glowforge! But if I need to engrave a conical shape- only option is the xtool! So my glowforge gets much more laser time! It can cut clear and light colors since it’s a CO2 laser and is way faster!
Awesome video… Thank you… It was my first time using it and with your explanation came out perfect
Yay!! That is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to comment- I’m so excited for you! Engraving with the RA2 Pro is so much fun!
For my 10W xtool, I use 49% power and 45mm/sec. After wiping it down with LA Totally Awesome, my results come out shiny
Great video, FYI on my machine I’ve been able to use 85 power and 60 speed and the results have been great, with the same cup.
Im curious, did that dramatically affect how long it took to get done? Like did it save more than 5 minutes if any time?
This is such a great teaching!!! I have watched 3 times. My M1 comes in Monday and I have a large order to engrave
Thank you for making a simple and easy to follow video with no fluff :)
Super helpful, thank you so much! I'm going to try my son's Stanley (old style thermos) today using your tips!

thank you so much for your tutorial it was very informative and I was able to do it on my first try!!!
Magic Eraser FTW! Thank you so much for this tip! I thought my tumblers were doomed!
You are a wonderful teacher
This turned out amazingly!!!
Thank you for the video. This really explained things I was still confused about.
Thank you very much. I now understand why I was getting the error message.

Thanks Karly. Great video! Can’t wait to try mine
What is the best image to use u said svg or bit map something like that and is there a web site
May I ask if you have tried cutting gold and silver acrylic. Also, would it make a difference if you left on the protection sheet on the acrylic ☺️
I’ve been considering the xtool, I want to etch glass as well. Is this a good fit for me
Great video would love to see more with this tool
If i have a Object that is not round and not flat, how should i engrave it?
Do you need to buy the riser box to do flasks?
how big circumference objects can fit ?

Have you ever done a cup like this with a handle?
Use a jaw chuck component,then turn it around
Will this work for sublimation tumblers

Goof-Off and blue paper towels work best for me for cleaning up the design. A magic eraser is just low grade sand paper and scratches things.
Hi Karley. Thank you so much for your awesome videos! Can you please tell me the actual name of your air purifier? The link doesn't work.
Looks like the one I have - Winix C545
Explained a lot thank you. is it possible to do a full 360 engrave on tumblers or just one side at a time
It is! I haven’t been brave enough to try yet 🙃🫠
Excellent tutorial!
Karly- do you like the Xtool over the glowforge? I'm on the fence on which I should get. I like the xtool so far. What are your thoughts?
If I need to laser cut anything- I use my glowforge! But if I need to engrave a conical shape- only option is the xtool! So my glowforge gets much more laser time! It can cut clear and light colors since it’s a CO2 laser and is way faster!
thanks for your feedback! I was under the impression you had the glowforge aura. You must have the Pro glowforge@@KarleyHall
@@crazymangochic yes- I have a glowforge pro! I’ve had it since 2018 or 2019! It’s well loved!
Hiiiii I just graves a tumbler and it’s look dark why? Can I send you pictures
Does the masking tape help fight the image warping?
No it does not
dont they mnake special glasses for that?
Hi where did you get the tired mom svg? I love it!!
Thanks! It’s my design 🥰 www.etsy.com/listing/1285144165/tired-moms-club-svg-cricut-silhouette?
Hi Karley where to get the risers? haven't seen these before Thanks T
They come with the Rotary Attachment 2 Pro!
@@KarleyHall Thank you Karley, actually received everything yesterday..
I lost my measuring tape.. Anyone have any suggestions...?
Very helpful thank you so much!
You cut leather Patch and en engrave ? In xtool m1?
I haven't tried. I have a video of the process using my Glowforge-- but haven't tried on my M1 yet.
Thank you, very helpful
I don't have that setting
Is your M1 a 5W machine or 10W? Just wondering if that would have an effect on the power settings.
Great question- I have the 10w. You’d need to adjust your settings if you have the 5w. :)
@@KarleyHall thanks!
@mrbaalloo hey I'm having the same problem did you figure out what settings you needed?
First time i have ever heard cameras cannot look at the laser. Ive seen many do it and ive done it.
Yah a lot of people don’t realize! It can ruin a camera sensor and I spent too much on mine to risk it!
It takes 41 minutes for 1 tumbler?
Haha yah it’s not fast! Diode lasers like this are so slow!!! But you get what you pay for!
which rotary tool is this? I have the Makerblock ! Xtool and it did not come with the holder for the end of the cup or the level.
This is the Rotary Attachment (the second variation!). It’s linked in the video description. It’s a really cool attachment!
Very well explain! Ty I’ll try mine giddy! 🎉
