Meet your xTool D1 Pro

XTOOL-D1-Pro-Laser-Engraver-IMAGE-21

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.XTOOL-D1-Pro-Laser-Engraver-IMAGE-25
  • 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.XTOOL-D1-Pro-

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.

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.

  1. Turn off the device and remove the laser module from the device.
  2. Remove the nozzle and its connector from the laser module.
  3. 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.XTOOL-D1-Pro-Laser-Engraver-IMAGE-40
