Excellent video. I just finished sitting up my new S1 today with XCS. Great intro for XCS especially with the material test array testing. Thank you very much!

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking it out. The S1 with XCS is a pretty good way to get started. I'll be doing some S1 with Lightburn videos as well soon.

Steve thanks for your style of nice and smooth teaching or showing how to try something. When your item snaps to another edge, you can move it with the arrow keys and it won't snap.

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

Yeah I was thinking it was the ctrl or alt key to also not snap but I was confusing that with another program. Thanks for checking it out!

Enjoy you and Clack both, when I have time I watch you guy's on the weekend. @@Vintauri

@rebaker2012 13 дней назад

Thanks for this Video. I followed along and learned quiet a lot. When I cut my to samples, it did not engrave, the power, speed or type file it was cutting. Such as cutting test or engraving test. Any ideals would be appreciated. Thanks again.

@TheClackShack 3 месяца назад

That is a good looking model for that project...

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

Yeah the one on the Scratch Acrylic was the best! ;)

@usafdummy 3 месяца назад

I guess that's another challenge, you'll have to put his mug on something.

@sharonsimonson5392 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the great video! I love the Clack on a Stick!!!🤣

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

I hope he does too! :D I did give him fair warning that he was making a guest appearance.

@sirmilesspitzoodle8929 23 дня назад

This was great. I recently purchased an S1 and I am trying to map a curved surface but the setting isn’t showing up for me. Do you know how I can fix that?

@ChiragKamalakarPatil 3 месяца назад

Can you help about side charring? How can you minimise it? Excellent video

@nick_coles_art 17 дней назад

I set my s1 up yesterday. This has really helped. One question. It's the test material pack it came with leather but there is no leather option on xcs. How would I know what settings to use? Cant seem the find it anywhere online

@Vintauri 17 дней назад

It would depend on the type of leather. I recently did a video using the xTool S1 to make hat patches from Leatherette. I was engraving it at 300mm/sec and 20% power and cutting it at 16mm/sec and 65% power. Otherwise if you have enough material you can run a speed and power test on it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NYZdJ3xTsMg.html

@nick_coles_art 17 дней назад

@Vintauri amazing thankyou. It was very thin. Just one of the test sheets it came with. Also it came with glass disks but no setting for that either. Read online you have to treat or paint the glass first. Just confused why they have put these materials in there that a beginner has no idea about haha.

@kevinrich4637 2 месяца назад

Steve great video thank you. Can I use XCS on/with my D1 pro 10w? Thank you.

@Vintauri 2 месяца назад

Yes XCS works great with the D1 series of lasers.

@kevinrich4637 Месяц назад

Great information. Do you have to have the optional smart assist for the air assist to work or just better air control? Have you worked any with the IR module? I am wanting to engrave on leather keychains, 4x4 tiles, and do some metal embossing without taking all day. The 40 engraving looks good. Would 30 give better detail without losing too much speed? (Giving material being used and such)? Thanks

@Vintauri Месяц назад

You could use a standard air pump but it's nice being able to set it in the software and not think about it. I have not worked with the IR module on this laser. I use the F1 laser for any metal markings as it's faster and I don't have to swap out the modules. As for the module power and detail, unless you're going to drop back to a 5w single diode laser, I don't think you'll notice much detail difference between 10w and 40w. There is a lot of talk about the spot size and detail loss on larger modules, but unless you're engraving a lot of detailed photos on tile, I don't think you'll notice the difference and in my experience, the maker is far more picky about those details then the customer is.

Hey Steve great vid. Do you have a link to the scratch acrylic you showed? Thanks man.

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

This is the scratch acrylic I showed in the video. I'll have a separate video on using it soon. greatcarve.com/pages/scratch-acrylic

@BlueLineCNC 3 месяца назад

Thanks Steve. I appreciate it. Looking forward to your video how you create with it. 😊

@WyldeWillow 3 месяца назад

I tried 2.0 today and it just kept getting stuck on loading the preview window. Going to mess with it more tomorrow. About to go to bed so I didnt get to watch your video fully but I look forward to watching it tomorrow.

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

I've tried a couple versions from beta and have not had issues with it getting stuck. I'm having to relearn where things are and I still miss some features from Lightburn. I'll have to use your notes from setting up the S1 offset in lightburn and get that going as well.

@shughes599 2 месяца назад

Bookmarking to watch tomorrow, thank god you made this. I got laser working Saturday and figured out things Sunday. Today I got wifi going and was real disappointed in engrave quality. A very good burn from laptop looks lighter and rougher from phone. No idea why, used same project from cloud … The laptop based layer and visibility system is atrocious, it makes sense on phone but just horrible on pc.

I love your SSID name, Ceti Alpha V! Khan!!! Haha, live long and prosper!!

@Vintauri 2 месяца назад

It's fun seeing people recognize that name! :D

@jeffcooper2464 3 месяца назад

Where can you buy scratch acrylic in the UK? I want to engrave a photo like yours using my S1 20W laser.

@Vintauri 3 месяца назад

This is where I got my packs from, I'll have a dedicated video to it with the S1 shortly. greatcarve.com/collections/scratch-acrylic

@waynefrey3630 Месяц назад

I followed your video many times and the test samples does not work on my new S1. It some times wouldn't engrave the scale portion, or it cuts all panels at a cut setting and did not follow the parameter ranges that I punched in. Which means I either have a jacked up new machine or the settings are wrong. This x tool software is much more confusing than lightburn.
