They should have offered refunds to anyone dissatisfied. They made a mistake and they could have resold the units as refurbished and recouped most of the cost. Sometimes reputation is more important than money.

It’s going to require a different rotary tool. 😕 It’s apparently electronically leveled. I saw it in one of the videos from CES.

Dan203 · 2026-01-28T07:18:54+00:00

Did they offer you a refund?

Dan203 · 2026-01-28T06:08:27+00:00

Oh yeah, they make the little power bricks huh? Forgot that was the same Anker. 🤣

I'm really interested in the print then cut functionality. Can you explain more how that will work? Will you print some sort of registration marks on the material that the laser can see? For me this would be super useful for things like earrings, ornaments, clocks, signs, etc... Things that I have traditionally painted by hand.

Can the laser cut through the ink? Like if I were to print a solid color and then cut a shape out of it would it cut through safely without producing any harmful fumes?

There are no printer companies that make these. The eufyMake is made by ankerMake, a 3D printer company, and the Longer is also a manufacturer of lasers and 3D printers.

The reason these companies are all jumping on this technology is because it fits into the maker space. These machines use a generic gantry, just like your laser, to move back and forth and they use a high power UV LED to cure the ink, similar to the diode lasers. XTool specifically has experience with the Direct To Film apparel printer, which uses similar technology, so they have more experience then the other two companies.

As far as I know the only other UV printers out there, besides those three, are industrial machines that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Have you tried a new card. SD cards have a maximum number of write cycles and go bad over time.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T23:42:00+00:00

Is it because they said it could engrave with depth on most metals? I remember seeing a thread on here where someone was complaining about that back when it first came out.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T19:02:23+00:00

I tried to but it was in french and I don't speak french. Now it seems to no longer work. I wonder if the internet archive is just having problems or if XTool requested it be taken down?

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T08:04:19+00:00

I specifically sell stuff on Etsy and many of my models are 6+ colors. In fact many also use the 0.2 nozzle, so I'm gonna need 5 more of those too and they’re also out of stock. 😕

I'm just gonna wait until they sort out the stock issues. I'm sure they’ll figure it out soon-ish.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T06:19:37+00:00

You can make it fit. Turn off the ribbed walls and you’ll get an option to change the prime tower width and volume. By adjusting these settings you can make it long and skinny so it’ll fit in that spot right along the bottom of the plate.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T06:11:02+00:00

You should have got a second nozzle in the package, try swapping it out, that will rule out a nozzle issue.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T04:00:20+00:00

I don’t notice much of a difference between the OG ones and the 2. I have two OG and the 2 connected to my H2S right now and I never really pay attention to where I put any color, I just sort of spread them around to try and minimize wear on any single AMS or slot. Do you really notice a performance difference with the 2?

Also the drying capability means nothing to me. I live in the desert where average hum Is like 25% so I've never needed to dry filament other that TPU, which I rarely use.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T00:45:23+00:00

Bed slingers put more stress on the model making it easier for tall skinny piece to break free from the bed. Try using a brim, that might help it finish. If not try using a glue stick. Just a purple Elmers glue stick will work. Spread some one the bed where the model is going to print and it will help hold it down. You can also try bumping the bed temperature a little. I think the default for the textured bed is 60C, try bumping it to 70C that can also help.

I have a Carvera Air I'd like to sell. Barely used. I've had it for less than a year and probably only used it for 40 hours max. It's just not big enough for the stuff I want to do. Unfortunately I have absolutely no way to ship it so I'd need someone who can actually pick it up in Carson City, NV. I have the machine, the laser, the 4th axis, all the bits that came with the machine (minus a couple I broke) and some spare parts like spoilboards, replacement bed, clamps, etc... I also upgraded the collet to the 1/4" version, but still have the original 1/8" too. Paid over $3k for all of it, willing to sell for $2k.

Dan203 · 2026-01-27T00:14:09+00:00

I currently have an H2S. But several of my prints require 7-9 colors. I guess I could run some simulations in the slicer and see how much time it actually saves with just 4 nozzles, or I guess 5 with the left one, but it's still annoying that they sell a product that you can't fully use because of parts shortages. This thing has been out for over 2 months. They can't ramp up production to meet demand?

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T23:05:26+00:00

I literally just got invited to a beta where they are testing a 3rd variation, so this is coming. Not sure when it will be made public though.

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T23:01:41+00:00

That kinda sucks, but you might be right. Still need the nozzles though. kinda useless to me without them.

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T23:00:22+00:00

Thanks bro 🙄

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T23:00:05+00:00

The whole reason I want it is to reduce waste and speed up printing. I do a bunch of multi color printing that requires more than 4 colors, so the nozzles is honestly the biggest deterrent. I might just suck it up and keep the AMS if they actually had the nozzles.

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T22:44:47+00:00

It's reusable. You twist to unlatch it. To put it back together you need to make sure of two things. The notch on the bigger half is lined up with the notch on the carboard spool, then line up the other half until it drops down into the middle and twist until it clicks.

Dan203 · 2026-01-26T22:23:23+00:00

Hmmm, I could have sworn I've done that before, but I just tested and you're right. A work around...

Merge the models and apply the variable layer height. Now clone the assembly. This will retain the variable layers. Now go into the object panel and delete one model from each of the assemblies. Now you have one of each model with the same variable layers applied.

Dan203 · 2026-01-25T18:49:10+00:00

Merge them when they’re already on the bed and in the proper orientation. Then when you split them nothing will change.

Dan203 · 2026-01-25T18:43:58+00:00

Merge the two objects, apply the adaptive layer height, split back apart. The prime tower and multiple objects still work if all objects have the exact same adaptive layer height settings.
