    Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will review the xTool D1 Pro 20W laser engraver. This is the most powerful desktop diode laser engraver that I have reviewed so far. Generally, most desktop engravers come with a 5W or 10W laser module, which is good for engraving but not cutting. I will test it out and see what kind of cutting power we can get from this 20W module.
    Besides that, the xTool D1 also has a very nice appearance. The frame is pretty different from those standard 20 by 20 extrusion frames. It also comes with WiFi support, safety features like a frame detector that stops the machine if it catches fire, a gyroscope to stop the machine during unexpected moving or drops during operating, and an air assist nozzle connector that allows you to connect any air pump or an aquarium pump with a standard 3/16” tubing. It uses inductive limit switches on both the X and Y-axis, and there is a lever attached to the laser module for you to adjust the focal length easily. For the motion system, instead of rubber wheels, it uses steel wheels and shafts, which should be more durable. There are eight risers for you to raise the machine when working with taller materials or working with a rotary roller. It also comes with its own xTool Creative space, which is very easy to use.
    Everything looks pretty good to me. I would like to thank xTool for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let’s get started.

After figuring out what power and speed to use on the material you’re working with, it is easy to use. I had an issue with the RA2 and Alex from MakeBlock gave me excellent support and kept me notified on what they were doing to correct the problem. I also bought the air assist and honeycomb bed which also comes with a metal plate to put under it to protect your table. I have the extension rails coming that doubles the length of the work area. Thanks for the review.

    Just out of curiosity, have you had any wood catch fire during the engraving process?
    A suggestion for a future review: review an enclosure for the engraver that contains an internal filter that would eliminate the need to vent to the outdoors.

    I found your videos to be very informative, and your "just the facts" format is much appreciated! I'm hoping you could point us in the right direction and/or make a recommendation considering the following:
    We seek a sub $2,000 Laser Cutter / Engraver to produce our aluminum face plates; either anodized or plain (6061-T651). Although, as much as 25% of our production could include: 303 Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Brass, Copper and if possible some plastics; PVC, Polyethylene, ABS and Kydex. In general our work would involve material thicknesses not exceeding 10mm (0.375"), with approximately 80% of production limited to 4mm (0.125") or less. In many cases, the engraving would be filled with ink, enamel, paint or more exotic materials. We intend to use the machine to cut the outline and "drill" mounting holes.
    Can you point us in the right direction? Or, alternatively feel free to tell me if what we see is not yet available as a laser machine. Thank you in advance, I look forward to your reply!

    Many friends around me have bought xtool and sculpfun, and I can't decide which one to buy. Could you review the sculpfun S10 or S9 too?
