Meet your xTool D1 Pro
Set up xTool D1 Pro Adjust the tension of the timing belts
- Try to set the timing belts on the right and left plates to the same tension, so that xTool D1 Pro can cut and engrave materials properly.
Set the position of the laser module
- Put the focal length setting bar down
- Loosen the thumb screw on the other side and slide the laser module upward or downward
- After determining the position, tighten the thumb screw and put the focal length setting bar back
To cut thicker materials, you can adjust the position of the rear plate on the laser module, based on the scale with which the focal length setting bar is aligned, to ensure better cutting performance.
For the 20 W laser module
- By default, the focal length setting bar is aligned with scale 0. It’s recommended that you adjust the position of the rear plate according to the thickness of the material to be processed.
- After adjusting the position of the rear plate, you can still use the focal length setting bar to set the position of the laser module.
For the 40 W laser module
Tips: The settings are tested under a laboratory environment and are for reference only. The setting may vary according to material, so it is recommended you test the materials before starting to process.
Download and install software
- You can download xTool Creative Space (XCS) at our official website xtool.com or use the third-party software LightBurn to operate xTool D1 Pro.
Note: You need to purchase LightBurn before using it.
Create with example projects
TIPS:
Before starting your creation, you are advised to test the parameter
settings and engraving performance first to prevent waste of materials. For
example, you can engrave on an area near the edge of a material to see the
engraving performance. For valuable items, especially, you can engrave on a
substitute for testing.
- xTool D1 Pro is delivered with a material pack that allows you to start your creation.
- Scan the QR code to find example projects and tutorials. Alternatively, you can click Support on xTool Creative Space (XCS) and then choose xTool D1 Pro > xTool D1 Pro Example
- Project Files & Tutorials. You can download the example projects and follow the instructions to create your first works.
Before creating your works, you can place the aluminum sheet in the working area of xTool D1 Pro to protect your desk or floor from being smoked or burned.
TIPS:
If the aluminum sheet is not flat due to film removing, you can use masking
tape to stick it on your desk or floor.
Use Rotary Attachment 2
TIPS: You can connect xTool D1 Pro to Rotary Attachment 2 to engrave cylindrical or irregular materials. Rotary Attachment 2 needs to work with a device and software. For details about how to use it, visit support.xtool.com.
- Place Rotary Attachment 2 parallel to the working area of xTool D1 Pro.
- Before you connect it to xTool D1 Pro , you may need to set its level based on the diameter of the material to be processed.
Level reference
- Set the level
Use the changing of the level from C to B as an example.
Use the support module
The support module is applicable to the processing of irregular objects or
objects that are too long for Rotary Attachment 2.
Set the support module
- Turn the knob clockwise to move the support wheels upward
- Turn the knob counterclockwise to move the support wheels downward
TIPS:
You can place the support module as required.
Clean the laser module
TIPS: For the 20W laser module, you are advised to clean it, including the inner and outer frames of the light shield, lens, and red light outlet, every time after it has been used for one consecutive hour.
When the light shield is dirty or laser beams can’t cut a material, you need to clean the laser module.
- Turn off the device and remove the laser module from the device.
- Remove the nozzle and its connector from the laser module.
- Clean the inner and outer frames of the light shield with tissues or dust-free cloth moistened with alcohol; and clean the lens and red light outlet with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
