This is really a great one stop shop to get started with the M1 Ultra. Covers so many areas in a clear yet concise manner. Awesome job!
Thank you so much. I definitely want to show people what they could get for the dollars they spend. :)
Your #1 want was exactly the same as mine. They hint there is more coming, so my fingers are crossed. Thank you SO much for this video, it was SO helpful. I just got my M1 Ultra and while I know my way around a Cricut, I was overwhelmed at all the settings and features. I kept wondering how in other videos people seemed to just know what settings to use for different materials and couldn't figure out how they knew this stuff other than trial and error or experience. Needless to say, I've subscribed to your channel 😊. BTW, the 'possum was HILARIOUS!
I ordered the 20W all in one bundle so it has just about everything! I'm so excited and cannot wait to get it! I am excited to laser some tumblers, as well!
WOW, that's awesome and congratulations! I have the RA2 for another machine, so perhaps I'll try it with this one.
Hi- this is a great video. Can I paint a sign white and then print only in all black? Is it vivid or will it have those printed lines in it? Thank you!
Got my "all in one bundle" coming this week. Thanks for this video. Of all the ones ive seen so far, you show the use of this thing the best of all of them. Thanks!
Congrats! It's definitely a fun little addition. :) Today I'm working on some printing use cases to see how I like them.
@@SarahNenniDaher thanks I'm excited. I have 2 Circuit Explore Air 2's I use here and there. I'm thinking for how little I use them... And the issues I've had with print and cut with them, that this might replace them and give me all the benefits of the laser all in one. Beside the speed, this seems like it might be more like a Cricut Maker (lite) than an explore so that's a bonus. 🤣👍
Best review I’ve seen so far! Thanks for your efforts! 😊
Thank you so much. I do try and give people a glimpse of what they can DO with it instead of reading specs or spouting off measurements we can read on the website. :)
I have the S1 and love it - but I have to correct you on something. The riser in the US has a front opening, the ones in many countries, the EU and UK, for example, do not and do not have the multi shelf capability. It is not allowed for safety reasons. Other than that, yours is the first video I have seen, where the user has been so honest in what it will or won't do and who it is good for and who is not going to gain anything from buying one. I would not recommend a 10W because I think it would be under powered and I agree that the honeycomb is a good idea. Also a good idea is the air assist. From my use of lasers, I also suggest getting a silicone mat to place under work, on the base, where possible, as it will collect the debris and allow easy clean up (specially if a closed front riser is used). This is not the sort of machine that will replace a plotter for people bulk making stickers, or those who want to do large vinyl cuts or make big projects but I do think it will be a fun machine for many. For those who don't have the funds for it and just want to try a 'baby' laser, there will be a lot of M1 machines on the second hand market very soon!
Great points! I have (primarily) a US-based audience, but I'll try to do better on that in the future. Thank you.
I didn't do stickers for this reason (though will try them later). Anyone who has a business with stickers is much better off printing on a high quality printer and cutting on a plotter but I'm curious to see how vibrant I can get on the paper because the wood looks great.
Thanks for the tip and for the reminder that the world is a small place.
Thanks for this! Can you advise why you don’t think this would be as effective for regularly cutting stickers? It seems to be able to cut as well and as quickly as something like a Silhouette to Cricut. Or do you think the software is what makes it the lesser choice?
@@astoriarosewood5135 Actually, the blade is comparable (though it might be a bit slower than a Cricut Maker). For me, it would be the printing.
Those with sticker businesses will likely want to keeping using a much more robust system for printing (like a Pixmo Pro).
For those of us who want to print our own business stickers as a freebie thank you gift or magnets for advertisements, this is more than capable.
@@astoriarosewood5135 The speed, which is not likely to be as fast as a normal printer; the print quality (XTool said was not as good) and that you can't do a continuous long sheet and then separate them. OK for domestic stickers but not so good if you have a business selling them.
I didn’t know this about the riser in the UK so that’s good to know. I have seen a rise in M1 machines on marketplace this year and I think it because of the power, so 20W is definitely the way to go. I will be purchasing the M1 ultra in the future maybe around Black Friday 🤞🏾🤞🏾 all the features and the size suits my needs. I’m grateful for this tutorial
Hi Sarah! It's been a bit. I watched the Launch of this last night, it looks amazing. Thank you
for demoing it. Hubs got the F1 a few months ago and it's out of the box but have not used just
yet...soon...lol Take care!♥
Oooh, that's one I don't have (yet). Haha
Have you used alternative filters on the connection end of the exhaust? These things do not last long. I ordered replacements but looking for options.
Not yet but, theoretically, couldn’t we just buy some cotton filter and cut it to size? That might be a great question for support.
@@berryandpine I just ordered an aquarium filter sheet. Will see how it goes. Also support just referred me to ordering their replacements.
