loved the swan one
Great video! Thanks!
Love the swan! Stunning 🤩
Thank you! 😊
Here it is 👍🏼
AWESOME
I the origami one loook really good 👍
Great tutorial! New to laser field but am eager to learn. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a 34 1/4" x 41" x 1/2" piece of plywood to close off our fire place during summer months and I would like to burn some type of patch pattern design on it. I know the project size is limited on the pass thru of the F1 but I have not experimented with it yet. It seems logical that with the laser head set at the lowest z axis position shooting laser thru the opening with base plate removed the project area would increase, if that makes sense. Have you experimented with this at all?
How much time did each piece take?
Can you show how to take a picture like Mario and break it into sections that you can set differently. I’m having trouble understanding how to prepare the image
Hello, thanks for the video, where can I get the configurations for all the colors? greetings
There are files on Xtools projects websites that have test grids you can run. Each metal is a bit different so if one color works for us it may not work for you. Running a test grid always helps!
Need more vids like this. Anyone think this could be possible on airpod cases?
Thank you! We will keep them coming! AirPods case unfortunately only really engrave in a grey color.
To be specific you can engrave on AirPods cases, we have videos on that. But not different colors. Hope that helps!
@@VelfCreations it does thanks. It’s be really cool if they could get different color
My F1 laser has small gap between blue lase and IR one.
So do you know how to align them?
We will look into this! And let you know!
Check out this CZcams video at about 5:14 for fixing F1 focus:

This worked for me. I didn't have to move mine as hard as in the video.
@@janepanzer5084 Awesome! that’s perfect thank you for sharing!
Thank you! When I open the Google Drive folder, I only see the Multi-color xcs file which is the origami swan. Is the smiley flag file supposed to be there too?
Yup there are multiple examples all under their own canvases
@@VelfCreations Found it! Learned something new :) Thanks!
@@michelle45827 Hey Awesome! Happy to help 😄
Looking for the round stainless blank you used for the swan - do you have an affiliate link or source?
Hey, these are just ones we already had laying around, but we ordered a few that look similar and will arrive today, we will do a test to make sure we get similar results and will let you know
@janepanzer5084 The ones we received from amazon are a bit bigger but engraved the swan design just as well, here is our affiliate link if you are interested

I have the S 1 - can the colors be done with it? I’m not understanding how the colors appear 😮
Yeah technically you should be able to, we believe. If you have done a test array before on the S1 it will help a lot to see what colors you can get. Unfortunately we don’t have one, sorry!
Hi, tried to download the files but the Google Drive folder is empty. Are these files still available?
Hey should be fixed, give it another try and let me know if you still have issues
HI! Thanks for the video! Do you know how I can duplicate the image using a MacBook? I just got an F1 today and trying out different projects. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks!
If I am understanding correctly you just want to have 2 copies of the photo in XCS? If so you can select your photo and click CMD and C on your keyboard then CMD V to paste a copy. I believe you can also right click on the image to duplicate it.
Thanks! It worked. @@VelfCreations
You bet! Happy to help
Hallo how can I engrave on pvc cards what is the settings thanks a lot for your such a videos ❤
Hey 👋
We haven’t tried PVC and just a warning for anyone else who doesn’t know engraving PVC releases some really toxic fumes so you need to either engrave outside or have really good ventilation.
With that being said we would use the IR laser, power set to 100% and a really high speed maybe 1500 to start and work our way down. Use 300 for lines per cm
Hope that helps
Thank you so much will gonna try it and I have watched this full video and give the same settings on my keychain to make such black smile but it turned to golden brown color not really black any other settings please 🙏 😊 that I can try it
Can you showbus how to engrave a photo on stainless steel?
Hey, So sadly we are actually not huge fans of how photos are engraved on stainless, that's why we never made a video to cover it. The photo looks fine when you look at it at a very specific angle but it mostly looks like an X-ray. Also every photo will need different settings but if you want to give it a try this may be a starting point
IR Light
Bitmap Mode: Jarvis
Dot Duration: 1500
Power: 100%
DPI: 900
can you please do a video for the F1 to make clear acrylic lights no one has a video on how to make and create these with the f1
Could you explain what the clear acrylic lights are? To make sure we are understanding correctly
What material do the keychains have?
Stainless steel
@@VelfCreations do the colours work on 925 Silver?
okay I blow away !!!!! how coooooooooooooooool , any tag is work or have to some special tag?
Thank you! They are just normal stainless steel tags! But sometimes you may get different results. Some stainless changes colors better than others
How to know when to use IR or Blue
Typicall IR would be for Metals, Plastics and blue light for wood, acrylic, leather, leather, paper, stone. Really it’s just trial and error. If it doesn’t work with one you switch to the other. But there is an “xTool F1 Official” Facebook group that helps a lot. A lot of users including us will post settings on their of projects that we have made.
Hope that helps!
Hello !
Do you know how
Setting white letter ?with F1
Material is stainless steel
Hey unfortunately we haven’t really found a setting for white with stainless. Aluminum does turn a nice bright white at full power and higher speeds around 400. Sorry we couldn’t help with this!
@@VelfCreations I understand!!
Do you think impossible white letter with F1? (Power weak maybe ?:()
Thank you !
Possibly or very fast speed, but it might be hard to see the engraving. We will do some tests and let you know if we are able to get a good result
@@VelfCreations really thank you !!
I hope can possible white letter with F1!
Waiting!
I'm also very curious how to engrave white color. But in stainless steel. I have these stainless steel discs with a gold coating and online you see people who engrave it in white. But mine always turns out black. Just curious how to be able to do both!
Thank you for the video! It says the folder is empty, would you please add the file back? I would love to try it!
Weird! I think it is fixed now, it was a permissions thing. Give it another try if you still have issues let me know
@@VelfCreationsThank you, it's there now, I can't to try it out!
I downloaded your video and it comes out to 69 mm. How do I resize it or is that the correct size? Thx!
You can resize it to any size you want
I only see one file on Google drive
Hey! Yup it’s one file but when you open it up all the projects are on the bottom tabs in XCS. Hope that helps!
