xTool finally sent out the new F1 ultra for me to try. The upgrades from the F1 are pretty substantial with the additional power and the added camera. Here are my thoughts so far but more content to come.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers as well as CNC project files.

Thank you for this video. Also of good information. I will be watching it again at some point before get mine. I like the WiFi feature to send files to it. Have you noticed any additional odors than the F1? Thank you for going through the calibration process. Thank for doing this! I would love to see the embossing.

My exhaust setup has a 4 inch assist fan near the exit, it doesn’t allow any smoke to escape

Great informal video! I was looking forward to it. The Ultra seems like a great machine with a lot of added great capabilities. My only concern is the build structure of the machine as I am OCD about this kinda thing 😅

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

The base is all metal and so far, pretty sturdy. They did away with the removable floor plate, likely to add rigidity.

Excellent! I recently bought the F1 and I was experimenting - I had since convinced myself (because I am interested in making jewellery) that I would need to step up to the Ultra. However, although the Ultra is a capable machine, I think a 100 watt Mopa would suit me better. I more want to experiment than just grab a blank and engrave it, to see what I can do, so it would be a mistake to set my sights on the Ultra. I love my F1 and have a ton of uses for it, and love the portability for events and such, but the Ultra clearly isn't the upgrade I need. I didn't even know what Mopa is so thanks for highlighting that I can spend less and get much more machine, for what I plan to do. Helpful details here in this video.

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Jewelry can be done with the 20 watt fiber. I have done gold lockets with my other machine.

@@TheClackShack I wasn't expecting the type of machine and power I will want/need to cost less that ten grand (because I wasn't sure what to search for) but after looking at several 100 watt Mopa units for under £5K, since seeing your video, I know where to set my budget. Maybe 20 watt will cover many bases, but 100 watt will cover ALL of mine. I was assuming that I could only ever cover some of them without huge expense! More research to do, of course.

I’ve been waiting for your take on the F1 Ultra. The only opinion that matters. 😉I have the F1 but I’m waiting for the ultra to arrive.

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Thanks.. So far, it has its place.

@loribrooks6736 2 месяца назад

This is helpful Clack! Thank you. One question…I see your smoke outlet tubing from the Lasermatik and the F1 in the background but wonder where they ultimately connect to? I think that area in your shack is a fair distance from outside so I don’t think you’re venting it outside. Would you mind showing us your smoke extraction set up for those? Thank you in advance sir!!!

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

The hose that runs over my shoulder goes out the back. I have a 4 inch assist fan right near the exit. You can see the hose when I am at the PC, I also used it for testing the F1 ultra.

@loribrooks6736 2 месяца назад

Excellent! Thank you again!

@bryangroves 2 месяца назад

I've seen it advertised that it can make 3D embossings. I'd love to see how realistic it actually is to do a job like that

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Trying it out. We will see..

@jf6720 2 месяца назад

Why do you have jigs for everything if it has a camera? (Sorry if stupid question but I am new to all this!)

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Cameras are not 100% accurate and I am OCD. Also, when batching, placing items is much faster.

@soopajoseph 2 месяца назад

Did you happen to have any issues with the protective shield not closing properly?

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

I haven't.

@nathanwolf5547 2 месяца назад

I can run either from my EV but, like you, intend taking the F1 to shows and leave the ultra at home.

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Yea, it is a bit more than I want to be moving around.

@MrAtoulmin 2 месяца назад

I’ve noticed on this video and the Roly laser matic you’re not wearing eye protection. Is the cover enough when closed properly? I’ve read you should still wear glasses.

@darkforestmade 2 месяца назад

Not needed in verified enclosures

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

These machines are built with windows that act as goggles. It isn’t a bad idea just in case but I don’t.

@Sekhmet131 2 месяца назад

How would you adjust it if the auto measure doesn't show zero with no material on the bed? Mine keeps coming up 0.4.

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Run the calibration on the "fiber IR and blue light laser calibration" it may be because they need an offset to correctly calculate. You will need one of the small scrap papers or similar.

@Sekhmet131 2 месяца назад

Ya, I already tried that. Didn’t resolve the problem. 🤷‍♀️

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

@@Sekhmet131 not sure. I didn’t have that issue. This is all I found about it. Make sure to shut the cover, I have seen some variations with too much light support.xtool.com/article/1312?from=xTool+F1+Ultra&url=/product/33
