r/XtoolS1

I purchased a replacement 10W module for my S1… but just wanted to make a PSA they are not identical in nature. You cannot use the exact same settings as results will differ.

I had dialed in all my settings for my 10W module, and due to the production level of my side business I wanted to get another one to have for when I need to do maintenance I could continue lasering.

Well the new 10W doesn’t mimic what my old one does. They were bought 1 month apart.

I’ll have to redo all my testing on each different colour to dial in the settings for that module.

I have access to both a 40w and a 2w module and I'd like to etch a powder coated aluminum guitar pedal enclosure. Can anyone advise which module I should use and some settings to consider?

Hey, all. I tried to cut some 5mm ply with my xtool S1 10w. I did 4 passes at 100%, 5mms, and it wouldn't finally the way. I did pick it up to see ot it went through, so it did throw off the last pass. I'm also gonna clean the laser to see of that helps. Has anyone had success cutting 5mm with their 10w?

After some advice to find a good starting point for test material.

I have S1 with 40w diode laser.

I want to "etch" some stencils to use with a nail art stamp. Doesn't need to be deep just deep enough to hold paint. Making warhammer decal stamps.

We did some engraving with what we thought was stainless with average results, unless we used powder coated.

What would be a suitable metal to engrave or do a couple low power cutting passes to get a suitable depth with?

Brass, aluminium etc?
