XTOOL F1 Slide Extension Review - Is it THE MUST HAVE accessory?

Today I'm reviewing an interesting accessory for the XTool F1. It takes the original 115mm x 115mm build plate and enlarges it to a whopping 400mm x 115mm area! It does come with some interesting quirks however!

Thank you for the nice video. It helped me a lot. You also made a great suggestion regarding the cutting speed with the slider; that's a really good idea. Hopefully, they will integrate that in the future.

Glad it helped!

Great video, I used my old in line grow room fan which is speed adjustable and plumed in my f1 and p2 together and put a diverter in so I can use just 1 or both. I got a guy on line to 3d print me the peace for the p2 for its exhaust exit but your FL you can use the galvanized pellet stove flue with a damper unless you get a in line fan with a variable speed.

Great work, once i get a pernament setup for my laser I will do something similar, for now I have an AC Infinity Cloudline S8 fan and exhaust it out my window, it provides great air flow extraction

Thank you for this insightful presentation. While I am confident that home or local digital fabrication has many advantages and great potential for the future, certain aspects of lasers, particularly the toxic fumes they produce, trouble my conscience. It's important to consider the nature of these fumes, which consist of micro-particles and various chemical compounds: metallic, acidic, and so forth. We know that micro-particles not only contribute to certain cancers and respiratory illnesses but also inevitably disrupt ecosystems and enter the food chain of our generation and future generations, leading to new public health issues. As long as there is an internal fume processing system, lasers only suffer from the limitations inherent in their technology. However, releasing into the environment fumes one does not wish to breathe oneself raises concerns. It's worth noting that the average user may engrave and cut materials whose fumes are extraordinarily harmful, such as vinyl, which emits dangerous acids, or leather, natural or synthetic, which emits chrome dust! Similar to thermal transports, which had little impact when there was only one vehicle for every 100,000 inhabitants, if a significant portion of the population has a laser and releases untreated fumes into the atmosphere, we are adding environmental problems that could surpass those of industrial emissions. Industries are at least partially regulated, which is not the case for the hobbyist in their workshop, and millions of amateur lasers are sold each year. While it is an investment, I have installed a series of filters in my workshop to avoid contributing to this pollution. Furthermore, only materials with non-toxic fumes, primarily natural ones without adhesives, are cut or engraved by my lasers. For example, I now exclusively use marquetry sheets or solid wood boards, avoiding MDF, plywood, or other materials containing adhesives. I believe this is a significant issue worth considering.

definitely agree! and thankyou for the extensive information, in the future I will be building a completely sealed cupboard in my room pure for laser and 3d printing so I can vent everything outside. Thankfully the air monitor i recently purchased does give me some peace of mind

@@ThisDesignedThat Furthermore, from a technical standpoint, implementing filtration systems prior to releasing emissions outdoors is paramount. This proactive approach not only ensures personal safety but also demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship by mitigating the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere.

i was wondering if you have an email I could talk to you at, I need to laser some stuff but cannot afford one so I thought I could ask if you could do it for me! Thanks

[@ThisDesignedThat]

sure, if you are in the UK i may be able to help if its a simple project, email me [e-mail]
