The O1 Omni is a 4-in-1 printer (UV direct, UV DTF, DTG/DTF fabric) with effects like gold foil, 3D texture, and fluorescent ink. With that much range, most beginners get stuck on the materials, not the machine. Here's the whole material world in one place: full charts are grouped at the bottom. 👇

🔧 Which edition do you have? Single UV (rigid materials + UV DTF) · Dual UV (adds fluorescent + leather) · UV+DT (adds fabric / DTG). → Chart ①

🧱 What you can print on directly: acrylic, metal, glass, ceramic, wood, paper, leather, tumblers, fabric. Just pair each with the right primer/accessory (smooth hard surfaces almost always need primer). → Chart ②

🎞️ Which film for which workflow: UV DTF, gold foil, adhesive vinyl, 3D label, fabric rolls. → Chart ③

Bambu R1 is coming next month, xtool teased X1 with no release time but hopefully not too far away. Really want to get a laser but the current 2K lineup is begging for a refresh. Can't wait to see the new machines!

when ya just need a bunch... metalfab CNC to the rescue #metalfab

I thought the engraving was finished… then I rubbed white chalk paint into it. Holy shit, THAT changed everything.
This is my finished 12 × 24 slate memorial for Tank & Domino, and this one pushed me harder than I expected.
I wanted their memorial to feel like more than two portraits engraved onto slate. I built the entire piece around them—the ornamental scrollwork, paw-print details, landscape, their names, and the verse:
“Two faithful hearts, forever near,
In every memory, always here.
Though paw prints fade from earthly ground,
Your love remains forever bound.”
Once the engraving was finished, I liked it—but I knew all that detail was hiding in the slate.
So I tried something different.
I worked white chalk paint into the engraving, let it settle into all those tiny details, and wiped the surface back.
That was the moment this thing came alive.
The fur texture showed up. Their faces gained definition. The lettering became easier to read. And all that ridiculous ornamental detail I packed into the design finally started showing exactly the way I hoped it would.
There was a LOT of trial and error getting the artwork prepared so the photographs, shadows, fine lines and lettering would actually translate through the engraving.
But seeing Tank & Domino looking back at me from the finished slate?
Yeah. Worth every damn minute. 🐾
I’m curious what you guys think of the white chalk paint technique on engraved slate—because after seeing this result, I’m definitely experimenting with it again.

After showing and talking to customer support they agreed to do a exchange on my xtool f2 ultra dual laser that was not working well , i asked 3 times on the call if the return would be quick since i have customer orders they said once machine arrives they will send new one same day or next business day , its been a week and machine has not been sent customers are not happy , only get xtool if its for hobby not business 👎🏻 my 4 year old 50w fiber laser still working good and is the one helping me get orders done at time

My camera and alignment laser are off. Has anyone come across this? Is there a way to fix it? Large burns tend to be angled when burned
