    Extremely helpful. Thank you!!! Any chance you’d be able to do a comparison on the step up laser from both of those companies?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  6 місяців тому +2

      I would but I don't have an xTool P2, which is their larger CO2 laser. I am considering getting their new S1 when it launches-it's a 40W diode laser, so a much more powerful version of the M1 and larger as well. I wish I had room and the budget for ALL the lasers!

  • @buddysmith7080

    Thank you, great video. Do you need the honeycomb tray and riser or can you just remove the existing tray and use the wooden risers if you want to use the rotary tool for cups?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  2 місяці тому +1

      You don't need them! You can use the wood risers. I have the wood risers for my M1, but I prefer the riser base.

    thank you for the video. I am looking at the Xtool p2 or the glow forge pro. my worry is that the software will be too difficult for some of our staff. Is the software intuitive? such as setting strength of laser and depth?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  4 місяці тому

      I think the software should be pretty easy for those sorts of changes. The Glowforge software lets you do less, but that might be better for people who are technically...challenged. The xTool is more robust but may be a bit of a learning curve. But once you figure out how to do it, it's easy!

    Can either cut cotton woven material? I sew and often there are SVG files that can be used to cut pattern pieces.

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  6 місяців тому

      I've not cut either, but I do believe I've seen people cutting fabric with the diode laser.

    Can you engrave stainless steal tumblers, what length?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  6 місяців тому

      You can in the xTool M1. And with the RA2 pro tool, I think you'd be able to engrave any length of tumbler!

  • @BeatlesFanSonia
    @BeatlesFanSonia 6 місяців тому +1

    I wish I could afford anyone of those machines. Can the glow forge machine be able to cut cork leather?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  6 місяців тому

      I'm not sure! That's not a material I've cut before. I would think it would be possible if it was a laser-ready material (meaning it wouldn't cause fumes or other damage to the machine).

  • @bobslfcu773

    How long does it take to cut a design with the Aura?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  4 місяці тому

      Depends on the design! But I will say…it’s sloooow compared to a CO2 or higher wattage diode laser.

  • @jasonmorales4990
    @jasonmorales4990 6 місяців тому +1

    wich machines can engrave 3d like images on brass and metal.

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  6 місяців тому

      Both of these machines can, however I think the engraving quality is better on a CO2 (like the Glowforge Plus or xTool P2) or fiber laser (xTool F1).
