In this video I will explain in detail how to get started with the XTOOL D1 Pro laser cutter and engraver! I will walk you through everything from unboxing to the complete workflow of processing your first job.

XTOOL sent me the D1 Pro 10W model to test and I was truly impressed with the build quality of this laser cutter. This is not a long-term review, however, and the opinions expressed in this video are (at this point) more like first impressions. That being said, I think the D1 Pro will perform reliably over time based on the apparent quality of the parts. If anything changes, I'll come back and update this video description to report my findings.

In addition to the installation guide, I also designed and provided a smoke extraction nozzle to eliminate smoke at the source:

Recently I also added two more upgrades. A protective cover for the control board PCB and a cover for the main button so that it is not accidentally pressed:

Towards the end of the video (check timestamps) I show off the performance of the machine while cutting the clearance and testing the fit I designed for the slot and tab style panels/boxes. You can find this design here to test it on your D1 Pro or any laser cutter for that matter:

Always remember to practice proper laser safety. These lasers can seriously harm you directly (your eyes) or indirectly (your lungs and your health). ALWAYS wear your safety glasses! By-products from the processing of certain materials can be toxic and harm you. DO NOT CUT vinyl materials such as PVC. Check this list for hazardous materials before cutting anything:
