Just wish it's UV ink and if they use that, it will be a game changer. It made me recall XYZ printing that used inkjet to mix the colour but it's just a gimmick.
The Ador is very similar in form factor to the original M1, I'm surprised you didn't mention that and use it for comparison. Another thing I'm very surprised you didn't mention is rotary attachment support and option to process taller objects.
@@makeorbreakshop They're not phasing it out - it's still available and still a decent craft laser but they always treated the M1 like the ginger child, very reluctant to add anything for it or even mention it after the premiere.
I’m probably missing something important but why don’t companies like Canon, with existing tech for precision control over lasers, make machines like this?
Because you need certain printheads for an ink that is waterproof as ecosolvent, which they use here. Epson has the patent on the piezo printhead which can do that. But i think they don’t produce small solvent printers, if any at all. They just produce huge machines not affordable for hobby. And they came out with a at home uv printer for 8000 dollars that can print on wood. So the answer is.. they want to make more money 😒🎉
I am looking everywhere for a laser. But its overwhelming how big this market is. But i need a laser for school. Building maquettes as a architecture student. Mostly i use cardboard. Sometimes some wood. The plates are sometimes a little bigger. But i also wont to try various things out. What do you recommend?
Great review. Just curious, why all in one machine? Seems the printing is not economical and mediocre? Why not 2 dedicated machines? What is the application of this? Thanks.
Being able to print and laser cut, without having to move the work is everything for accuracy and time saving. Also standard printers cannot print on stiff material like wood, acrylic, metal.
These machines are awesome, I am in love with how much you can do with them, more and more with each new machine
Yep! They have come such a long way
Fume extraction is a must on any long cut.
I like the machine. But it's definitely, hobby or small buisness periodic use.

Good points, it does feel like xTool is phasing out the M1 for the M1 Ultra, that's why I did the direct comparison with it.

Because a solvent flatbed printer as well as a uv printer of this size is not affordable, they cost several thousand euros by themselves
I like your reviews. I'd watch them more if they had chapter markers. It's not hard to do.
There is, sometimes they don’t show up right when it goes live though.
Hi, unrelated to this video bit hoping you see this. I just got an AtomStack x20 pro & I keep getting a homing error (alarm 9) Can you help me out?
You lost me at ink *cardridge*
