    As a beginner with the S1: Thank you for this video guide!!!
  • @richard8031
    Newbie here... GREAT video, THANKS for taking the time...
  • Great video you got me started with my S1. New to lasers so this was very helpful. Thank you!
  • 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!

    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.

    Just bought an S1 20w plus the 2w infrared... awesome piece of kit.... 👍

    Steve great video thank you. Can I use XCS on/with my D1 pro 10w? Thank you.
  • @kevinrich4637
    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

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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

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

    I've had Xtool for about 4 months I have never seen that screen you are showing. I have never seen that seting in the right hand screen before,
