🌟Check out the xTool F1 links in the description below this video 🌟 What else shall I try to cut/ engrave with this handy little machine? 😊
I’d love to see more engraving on metal, like jewelry projects and also the dog portraits.
I like how you show your mistakes. I believe failure is the best teacher, as long as you learn from it.
Amazing! ⚡FINALLY, someone to not just show, but SHARE the settings - the most important thing!
Thank you so much for that!! You rock 🌞💖
I'm really happy you found this video helpful. I know I always appreciate when others share their settings and time it takes, it's a learning curve for me too. For this video I tested cutting and engraving on different materials endlessly, so that I could share the correct setting in my video and I am happy it's appreciated, thank you ❤️
This is the best video I have found showing the capabilities of the F1, thank you.
Cool you showed all your mistakes while learning
Oh wow!!! This is so cool!!! I can tell how much fun you had playing with it! That was very kind of you to share your settings with us as well.
Enjoy your new “toy” and make more beautiful things!! 💜💜💜
I really did enjoy using this new toy 😃 there was just so much I could do with it and I’ll explore even more. Soon our whole house will be engraved with images 😂 the kids will love it ❤
Awesome video. Made the way ALL engraving videos should be made. I’ve watched literally hundreds of engraving videos and this is definitely one of the top 2 or 3. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
That’s great, thank you for watching and I’m glad you found the video helpful. I’ve just uploaded another video on the xtool F1, testing even more materials (with settings of course) 🙂
BRAVA E BELLA!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Just got mine.. thank you for sharing your tips and experiences!!
Glad I could help! I hope you have lots of fun with your new F1 machine 😊
thank you so much for your tips and feed back on thi machine. I am definitely buying it !
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful, have fun with your F1 if you decide to purchase 🙂
This was a great explanation of how to use the F1!!!
I'm so happy you found this video helpful 😊 if you'd like to see more videos on this clever little machine, you can check out my latest video. More useful tips there 🌟
This is so cool!
It sure is 🩵
Thank you so much for sharing this! I liked the way you had fun with it 😌 it inspired my excitement to play and create with this lovely tool ✨
Your terrific, was looking for setting up rotary but watched any way
Brilliant 😊 I hope this video was helpful ❤️ I’ll be posting another one on the F1 this week testing more materials.
Wonderful video. Thank you for showing all of the ideas. I will be buying this machine soon so this was very helpful ❤
That's so lovely to hear, I'm happy you found this video to be helpful. The xTool F1 is really great and I hope you have fun crafting with it once you get it ❤
Thank you for the video. I’m was looking at the glow forge but the price😮. 😊
I can’t compare, but I love the f1 for sure! 🩵
Research xtools products, in my opinion way far superior.. glowforge is way behind in the times and way too expensive.. myself, im sold on xtool. Im just undecided whether i want the p2 or the s1
@@HelenaDaydreamer can you tell me how large of a work area the f1 will engrave?
Very nice❤
Thank you Lisa 🩵
Thank you for this very informative video, it was really helpful. I will most likely purchase the F1 after this :)
Glad it was helpful! I have another video on the F1, perhaps check it out too, I’m experimenting with different materials x
Man! it's like watching a magic show! :D
It truly is magic ✨😃
My main concern has always been how shallow laser engraving is on gold rings. It's too easy to polish out after ring sizings.
Can you run multiple passes on the same engraving inside a ring to get greater depth?
Fantastic video and amazing information. I have watched your other (includes the D1 Pro IR) and wondering if you can advise which one to choose between the D1 Pro IR and this F1 for metal, jewelry engraving with a deeper text look. Thanks for your time.
I’m so glad you found my videos helpful ❤️ To answer your question, it depends on what material you want to engrave. I have found the F1 works great on most metals. Every metal I tried so far worked. And I have done even more testing after this video. The depth of engraving can be adjusted in the settings. There were the particular plated brass discs, which I had a problem with, but I ended up putting the speed super slow and it worked eventually. But took a long time to engrave. My D1 pro with IR worked better and faster with these discs. Having said that, I also engraved the rectangular domed plated brass and that was fast and looked awesome. Bare copper took a long time to engrave deeply too.
So considering everything, I’d choose the F1 without hesitation. It really is an amazing little machine, for smaller projects. And the fact it engraves over a curved surface is so cool and It’s fast, portable I really love it. I have another video on the F1 coming up soon, where I’m going to explore even more materials and mainly metals like pure gold etc. It should be up in about two weeks 🙂
@@HelenaDaydreamer Morning. Thank you so so much for taking time with the comprehensive suggestion, I really appreciated (first time ask question on youtube in this way and really surprise to have the reply honest) I am personally preferring the F1, consider everything mentioned. It is going to be for my start up personalize business where aiming for customized personal gift, like leather tag, wood, silver (jewelry). One feature I am planning is to have different color display on the object engraved, for example, same text or name can have different color on different wood to make the text looking stand out, which I read the description of the D1 Pro (there are over 300 color choice can be adjusted and processed). So I am wondering if you have any experiment regarding that aspect? I am sorry for many questions, it is a very important tool for my business and I would like to get it right in the first place (with your help, I can have a shortcut for the journey) Thank you so much for your time.
@@user-qr7gn2ib5f I’m happy to help if I know the answer 🙂 with the colour of the engraving, I’m not sure if I understand right, but I’ll try to answer anyway. With wood, the deeper the engraving, the darker the colour. Metals are the same, but the engraving isn’t going to be really deep(you’d need a fiber laser to do that) but it marks the metal and you can feel it being engraved. The stronger the power + slower the speed the darker the engraving. You can also play with settings and engrave metal like stainless steel with colour(it’s not actual colour of course it’s just going to produce different shades and tints with different settings) I am not a very patient person and so I appreciate the speed of the F1 (as well as other features) I’d say cutting wood seems to be better on my d1 pro 20, it’s a cleaner cut, less charring and straight. F1 is faster at cutting, but seems to burn the edges more, plus the cuts are slightly angled. But it’s ok, I still like it. I hope that helped and don’t worry asking more questions, I understand it’s an investment and you want to be informed 👍🏻
Fantastic ! Thank you for this wonderful discovery ! I'd like to know if it's possible to print a small logo on an 8mm diameter steel bead with this laser machine ?
I’m happy you found this video helpful 🩵 I haven’t tried that, but honestly I think you can. The engraving goes over curved surfaces, so I can’t see why it wouldn’t. Next time I use it I’m going to try and let u know 👍🏻
Wow!
This machine is quite something 😊❤️
Perfect, tank you for the video. Do you have the link of the rotary? I can’t find it. Thank you so much.
Glad you found the video helpful, here is a link for the RA2 Pro for xTool F1:

Hi! Thank you for the video! I was wondering if you could list the materials you used in the video, add some links (Amazon maybe?). I am particularly interested in the cardstock you used for the card (flower shaped cuts). Thanks!
Hi do you have any attempts at solid 9ct gold? Also, can you improve the depth of marking on the sterling silver?
Hi, I haven't tried engraving solid gold, but the disc I had was 14k gold filled. The settings for silver were the same I used on my D1 Pro with IR module and they seemed to work great. But I'm sure you can reduce the power/ increase the speed to get lighter engraving. Or even darker one if you play with the settings.
@@HelenaDaydreamer thank you for following up
Is there a way to engrave the metal without or coming out black? Instead I am looking to see if it will engrave more with a metal look Rather than black.
This machine and all the diode lasers that can engrave metal using blue laser or infrared laser(depending on the type of metal you are using) will only mark the metal. You will be able to feel the marking with your finger nail, but it is not a traditional deep engraving you get using a Fiber laser or engraving by hand. The black colour is an oxidisation of the metal and you'll be able to rub it off or it will rub off eventually through wear(shower, swimming pool etc) Once it does, depending on how deep the marking is, the design will still show, but it will be not as deep as standard engraving if it makes sense. I'll try to make a video on this and show examples.
Thank you for sharing! I recently got F1 and am having problems engraving the inside of the ring, the engraving always turns out slanted somehow. Have you experienced a situation like this?
Are you using the rotary attachment with your F1?
@@HelenaDaydreamer yes i am
pro vlog, take it easy. ;)
Thank you 🙏🏻 take care ☀️
Great. Did you finally establish why text is reversed in the ring?
It was just the set up of the text in xTool cs. And if I remember right, the text was reversed when engraved on the inside of the ring band. So I just need to remember for next time, but it works just fine 😊
Is this possible to engrave my own writing or my customer’s write on metal through this machine
Yes it is 🙂
Do you think that this machine can cut through stainless steel plates to make customized name jewelry?
It can’t cut through metal, light engravings yes, but not cut.
