Been using X Tool D1 Pro 20W for couple months. Had to request replacement limit switches due to originals being defective. Thank you for the cleaning instructions.
Paw paw, you seemed adamant when you said "I don't use alcohol". Why not? My laser manufacturer (Comgrow) recommends using alcohol and a q-tip. Is there a reason why you don't use alcohol? Thanks!
Yes, I’m always concerned about contamination. 70% alcohol has 30% purified water. I would rather have a product specifically made to clean lenses. I just don’t want to take a chance of scratching the lens.
Thank you. I noticed my D1 wasn’t working correctly. I went to clean my lens but it was chipped. Ordered a new one. Hopefully that will fix my issue. Have a great day
Thank you I did all that and even changed the lens and still no power have to do multiple passes or slower speed. before this has never happened any suggestions?
Interesting find while searching for lens cleaning solutions. I have a spray bottle to clean my glasses which seems to consist of mainly isopropyl alcohol. Might work as well but will do a little more research just to be sure. Most lens cleaning search results end up with 'isopropyl alcohol'.
Paw paw, do you have a link to the laser repair kit that you used in the video? I only see the glass lens by themselves. Also, do turn off the laser when you clean the lens? Maybe this isn't an issue for the lasers you have, but I had a little issue the other day when I was cleaning mine. On my laser there are two separate cables for the laser head, pwm and power. I unplugged the pwm cable while the machine was on and the laser came on full blast! Fortunately, it wasn't pointed at anything important and I was able to shut it off quickly. But someone else might not be so lucky.. Have a good day!
After I plugged in my IR yesterday, & plugged back in the 20w. I have more power than I should? Meaning at P- 50% & S- 3,000 it burns threw a 1/2 in plyboard, and 33 mm bass is evaporated. I don't like it. I checked the settings, & reset it. 100%- P goes threw the table. I have an order to fill & I can't under these circumstances. Please help. 😣
Does anyone know if the actual laser lens (the one exposed after removing the protective lens cover) is supposed to be loose? I cleaned that one and noticed that I could basically screw it either further in or closer to the top. Not sure what to do now to get it back in place.
How do I tell if I have a bad lens it doesn't seem to focus. It's all distorted. Not getting the usual straight neural beam. Ortur Master 3 I took it off. The gantry turned it sideways pointed at a piece of wood with my goggles on then I made it do a small circle, but I noticed the beam was very distorted. Can I use standard eyeglass wipes?🛰
Do you have a video to replace the D1 pro 20 w laser diode lense? Not the replacement but the actual replacement with the lense on main unit?
I love my xTool D1 Pro and Paw Paw has a link to it in his description.
Awesome! Thanks

Cleaning solutions for glasses contain a mixture of different types of chemicals. Stick with manufacturer recommendeds.
Nice video. Thank you for the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Air assist really help you lense
Yes, I always use the assist now. You are correct, it helps a lot to keep the lens clean

Wow, that could have been a serious accident. Whenever you are working on any piece of equipment always turn it off or unplug it. Safety first.
I have damaged my second lens on my d1 pro Is it the same lens as the first or did I damage the laser itself ” thanks in advance
Paw just wondering I want to buy a laser to start a small business at home. You have any suggestions
I like the xTool Pro. The newest laser is a 40 watt.

I answered the email. You can check that out. Also, did the software ask you to do a firmware update when you turned it on?

Hey boss. keep up the great work
Thank you very much
What cnc machine did you use
To make that beautiful eagle American flag.
This was done on the CNC4NEWBIE. Any of the CNC machine can run the same file.
what size of lens?
I do not the exact lens. Check with the manufacturer as I do not see the specifications in the manual
