Nice machine Mike. I bought an XTool D1 Pro 20w plus a the IR laser. I've not tried the IR laser yet though. Where did you get the engine vector? I've only got it as a raster file unfortunately, and I haven't had any success with converting it to a vector. I've done a gasket for my Eldorado rear drive. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare gasket as it fell to bits when I took it apart, so I photographed it and went from there. It took a few goes to get it right. I prototyped it with some thin card until I was happy with it and then cut the gasket - very handy.
I use the Convertio web site to convert bit maps into svg vector files. If you have a good clean black and white image it does a great job. convertio.co
Yes I would. It's not much more than the S9 but much more capable. There are some good Facebook groups on Lasers. It might be worth asking there on what's popular at the moment. The Sculpfun group can be found here: facebook.com/groups/sculpfunusers
