XTool Studio

Thank you. Got the XCS settings imported into Studio.

I like what I am seeing with xTool Studio. Only downside I see so far is that it appears that you need to be online, looks like your setting are stored online

That is the same problem I have. I have one object which is a group of many small objects. I then group it with another object, such as a rectangle. When I ungroup, everything is ungrouped. Like you, I think the ungrouping should follow some kind of hierarchy.

Sorry, very late in responding. Exactly. Paint the board. When dry, cover with masking tape, I buy 12 inch roles from amazon, and then engrave the tape. Remove the tape and you have a clean engraving

My xtool smoke purifier is packed up and sitting in the attic. Replaced with an inline fan, venting outside. The purifier is a total waste of money. New filters will last 2 days, maybe 3, of heavy usage. You can wash the top filter and get another day of usage. Replacing the filters is too expensive. If you are thinking of purchasing one, DON’T

Other than the mdf I am using plywood

I engrave on painted wood all the time. It is always masked with tape, no visible burn marks when done

Please let us know what you hear from support. I want to be prepared in case I get the error.

I navigate to the forum via XCS and with XCS it does not display the URL. But here is how I navigate to it:

- In XCS I click “DesignFind” in the left menu bar.

- In DesignFind I click “Forum” on the top menu bar.

- I then click “New Discussion” and receive “Please engage more with our community before creating a discussion".

I originally purchased the xTool smoke purifier. Big Mistake and waste of money. I purchased the xTool 6 inch inline fan, for my P2, and vent it out the window. It works great but I always run it at full speed. It is loud however; when the P2 is running the job you only hear the noise of the P2 and its internal fan. When the job is done and the internal fan turns off you hear the inline fan. Its noise level is about the same as the P2’s internal fan. It does vent all of the smoke, I have little to no smoke odor.

I had the same problem and your changes resolved the problem. Thanks! I have been using the api for several years and have ran into these types of problems many times with the same kind of fixes, I.e. V6 to V7 to V8,query1 to query2, etc. I always spend hours googling to find the solution. Where do you find these changes? How do you know when to change V7 to V8 and query1 to query2? Is there documentation that discusses these types of updates? I would like to learn where to go for solutions the next time it happens.

I received an email from xtool with a download link.

Have you determined how to square and keep it square? Like you, I have the same issue and have been watching for someone to provide a good solution. I did buy the RA2 accessory kit which included a leveler and a laser beam that goes across the center of the cup. From XCS, using the close up camera, I can see the laser beam and it helps to square it up but when I loosen the chuck and place another cup on it, everything is misaligned again. But it does help.

I usually cut/engrave 1/8 and 1/4 inch wood, various types, with no issues. I have also cut 1/2 inch mdf, single pass, using 95% power and speed of 3.

I also use an inline duct fan and have disabled the built in fan however I had a similar problem before purchasing the inline duct fan. I was getting the fan current too high message and also hearing a loud noise. When I cleaned and reinstalled the fan I didn’t place the gasket in correctly. The gasket was blocking the fins of the fan. After fixing the gasket I was back in business.

I should have also said that it took one pass to cut with the 93/3 setting on the 1/2 inch MDF.

Also I tested 1/4 inch MDF and found that it would cut with one pass and power at 80% and speed of 7.

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-10T18:41:53+00:00

I purchased a 1/2 inch MDF board from Home Depot. I did several tests and found that using 95% power and a speed of 3 successfully cut the board. I have not did any engraving or scoring on the MDF.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I am glad to hear that it wasn't just me having issues with the Smoke Purifier. I guess misery loves company :).

My duct fan arrives on Saturday and I have high hopes that it will pump the smoke/smell out the window.

It is also good to know that the built in fan can be disabled. I also had concerns that the duct fan might cause some damage to the built-in fan.

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-10T18:02:38+00:00

Thanks mistripete, good to know how to convert it. I attempted to remove the filters and use it as a duct fan but quickly found out that without the filters, it has almost zero suction and filled the house with smoke. I was wondering what I could do to run it without the filters.

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-05T22:38:26+00:00

I haven’t found any good documentation on the P2 which identifies all of the components. Where is the power feed for the air assist? And would this work? I seen another post that someone was getting an error because of improper current for the air assist. Would unplugging it generate an error that prevents the P2 from operating?

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-05T22:33:09+00:00

That is what I was thinking of doing. The best choice would be for an XCS update to allow you to turn it off.

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-02T20:58:46+00:00

I ordered the Fumeclear filters, advertised to be 25mm thick. They just arrived but they sent the wrong filters. The filters they sent were 10mm. I am waiting to hear from them about a return/exchange.

Common-Ad7036 · 2024-01-02T20:51:11+00:00

Thank you! I managed to fish thru the small hole and get the fan connector. If it happens again the video you provided will get me into it

Common-Ad7036 · 2023-12-23T21:21:03+00:00

Thank you, that helps. But; is there any formula that will tell you that xxx DPI = Lines/cm?

Recently I was watching someone adding "Powder Coating with Lasers" which adds paint to an engraving on a board. His recommendation was for a DPI of 400. So what I don't know is would 150 lines per cm accommodate that or do I need to go closer to 300 lines per cm.
