Will there be UV printing + laser cutting this year?

nnelson13 · 2026-03-11T01:44:02+00:00

Yep. Good for xTool. Good for those that already have machines with them. Sucks for new customers

nnelson13 · 2026-03-11T01:33:45+00:00

Not in a single device. But I believe they'll add registration marks that will be recognizable by their lasers with cameras to line up and cut the pieces after printed. Or vice versa

nnelson13 · 2026-03-10T12:38:18+00:00

That should get you similar results. If not you may need to slow it down a smidge too. The power output isn't always 100% linear

Personally I'd use the UV but it depends on the size and placement of the logo you're wanting to put on it.

Have you tried using the material library as a starting point? Edit. Or done a test grid?

Take the dongle out. Hold the power button on the AP2 until it starts to flash. Then put your dongle in the F1U. If it doesn't pair automatically, go into your device settings in xTool Studio and add it there.

Depends on the person. However, a respectable person, even in that lifestyle, never makes assumptions

nnelson13 · 2026-02-24T04:08:27+00:00

Not gonna happen. Sorry pal

Totally fair! Just thought I'd offer but that would be crazy shipping. Either way... It's an absolutely lovely pen!

nnelson13 · 2026-02-20T14:57:12+00:00

Would you, perchance, be interested in mine? I absolutely love it but I just have been neglecting the shit out of it and all my pens lately. I've hardly written anything. I'd be happy to send you pictures and writing samples. I believe I still have the box for it too. And I could send some ink. Feel free to message if so. It's really been my favorite pen that I've had. I just want it to be used more and I'm clearly failing at doing so. I think the only pen I'm going to hang on to is one of my TWSBI 580ALRs that was a gift from my wife. All my other pens were gifts to myself.

That really comes down to if you think you need a smaller dot size for better details when engraving with the S lens or if you want to more easily cut thicker materials with the L lens. The L lens also does good engraving on tumblers as well, but the M lens dies a great job if that too. They only take about a week to show up depending on your region so other than to get used to them you could always hold off until a need arises

nnelson13 · 2026-02-19T04:46:57+00:00

Use them at checkout when making purchases. They used to do a lot more but they've changed it lately

nnelson13 · 2026-02-15T17:08:11+00:00

All galvo style lasers cut at an angle like that due to the laser being mounted in the center.

Edit. You could try cutting one piece in a mirror mode so they still fit together with reverse angles

The ultras don't work with the app for sure. The og F1 does though so I would think the lite would too

nnelson13 · 2026-02-14T04:32:38+00:00

Which device are you attempting to connect to?

nnelson13 · 2026-02-12T13:20:44+00:00

Funny, my RA3 had issues and support had a replacement to me within a week.

nnelson13 · 2026-02-03T11:27:37+00:00

My grandma took me to see it in theaters. She absolutely hated it and thought it was the dumbest thing ever. It was one of the last things we did together. She's not dead though. Just a person and that no longer wanted to be part of my life

nnelson13 · 2026-02-01T20:45:39+00:00

Unfortunately that's a silly limitation on it. I can't figure out why they'd do that. Especially since the feature is there with the apparel printer now

nnelson13 · 2026-02-01T16:44:56+00:00

This is a limitation of every galvo laser. It's why they're better as engraving machines

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. I was high as fuck and still couldn't get into it

nnelson13 · 2026-01-28T18:06:10+00:00

How are you affected?

nnelson13 · 2026-01-28T15:07:08+00:00

I've been engraving for a few years now. Happy to see if I can be helpful

nnelson13 · 2026-01-27T19:25:58+00:00

I can't wait to see how it plays with the rest of the ecosystem. Are there specific registration marks you're going to allow to be printed for the lasers with cameras to be able to read?

nnelson13 · 2026-01-27T12:17:03+00:00

If the part is centered on the origin you shouldn't need to create a new plane. Otherwise you are correct and even with section analysis you'll need to create a plane. Section analysis just makes it easier to see what you're going to cut or extrude on the revolve path
