- This video we'll take a look at the xTool D1 and 5 things to know about this Diode based laser. We go through what it came with, and then break down tips on how to get the most out of it. I also go through the software which is provided by xTool (though it can also use Lightburn as well).
If you'd like to purchase this, this link gives me a bit of a kickback which helps support the channel

Note: I incorrectly quoted the lightburn subscription renewal as $60USD, it's been pointed out it's $30USD. I also want to say that lightburn is a MUCH more advanced software, and didn't mean that included software is in any way a replacement for it.
Check out Vince's Tech SHop! Fun unique videos there: / @vincestechshop
I would check both to see if any promotions are available as it often goes on quite a sale.

Overall this laser has too much going on to cover in one video, so I'm working on a few of them. There's various software now available, the version I have came with a rotary, and the projects that 10watts enables for both depth and speed are pretty impressive. I'm much happier cutting 3mm basswood with this (one pass reliably at 3mm/s!). - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Might want to note that laserbox basic is being phased out in favor of xTool's Creative Space.
Good call, pinning this. When I did the review they were saying that Laserbox basic was only available for the D1, and the D1 pro and others would use creative space, but then I tried creative space and it worked amazingly well. I will do a followup for that when I get a chance as creative space was MUCh nicer IMO and I really enjoyed having the pre made projects bult in. Thanks, will pin this in the meantime!
Hello friend, first of all, thanks for the demonstrations on the xTOOL D1 10W.
I am about to buy one, but I would like to know if this machine has Limit Switches (end of stroke detector) on the X and Y axis.
I am in great doubt about the xTOOL D1 10W and the Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W.
Another thing: what is the basic difference between the D1 and the D1 Pro? Thanks
Great question! The D1 does NOT have limit switches which shocked me for the price. But the pro does. I haven’t tried a sculpfun so can’t speak to that and haven’t had a pro to try to know if there are other changes. I’d look for something with an air assist or air assist upgradable though if you’re looking to cut. I’m realizing after a few 10w reviews it’s weird to have 10w and not have an air assist
Where did you get your clock or other designs that might not be in the laserbox software.? I know you mentioned lightburn but was just wondering while im doing my research on what laser to buy . Im a first time user that does leather tooling. Im just looking for a rime saver to do hat patches. Im really leaning towards this one.
I get a lot of designs off of Etsy. The clock was in a pack of about 60 designs. Be careful buying packs of 1000 or more because those are usually tons of files, but you'll spend alot of time sorting or organizing them. I usually find for 5-10 dollars I can get quite a set of designs though and I just build up a library of them
Holy crap.. Did you cut through metal at 10:37 with the 10W laser? I thought that was only possible with co2 lasers ? This machine has more in store for me..
No no no! Sorry that was 3mm Acrylic, I didn't mean for that to appear as metal (it was a bit of an odd ..sparkly almost acrylic). You can not cut metal with this machine at all.
Also a CO2 can't truly engrave metal...though it can mark it. You can engrave with a Fiber laser. If you want to actualy cut metal you're likely looking at another technology. At least that's my current knowlege on it.
I’m looking into getting a laser. I’m only interested for cutting boxes. Is a 10w good enough for 1/4inch material? Or should I just save for a 20w? Thanks
I’d save for a 20w. Being able to cut and being able to enjoy the hobby are a bit different. I’ve cut 1/4” with a few passes on a 10w with basswood, it a 20w going twice the speed is so much more satisfying and enjoyable. Keep in mind lasers are dangerous to leave unattended so a 40 min cut vs a 20 min cut means you only have to babysit it for half the time
LightBurn renewal is only $30.
Thank you!! I’ll note that (and I need to renew!). I’m also going to make a follow up because as nice as it is to have the easy to use software light burn really has a ton of value for the price.
Friend,I really appreciate your work. We are looking for reviewers, would you like to review Longer's laser engraver RAY5 10W?
Possibly. My contact info is in the about section. I try to do ones that have something unique so will take a look.
