Just got a P2S with the AP2 for work, can't wait to start using

[fivoasia]

I'm going to buy this. One suggestion for your marketing depart(s) is to make the experience more efficient to simply access without having to sign into mailing lists and other crap. Show me a fact sheet, a buy option, and cut the fluff; please.

[MarkGodwin-exzi]

I received one bundled with the Xtool P2S - its really amazing. Working on patching my Bambu X1C to it so I can print with some of the more exotic filaments I could never use before. I have two air sensors in my hobby corner and neither has shown any significant changes while laser working with wood or acrylic. The only wood burning smell comes from the wood pieces themselves after I remove them from the P2S. Now if only Xtool would come out with a higher powered fiber laser!

What do you do for work? You seem to have all the machines and skills that I want to own one day

[diepurpledino]

Another safety device worth mentioning: WhamBam's The Cloud. It's a little hockey puck fire extinguisher you place over your 3D printer/laser cutter that bursts & spreads extinguisher powder if it is exposed to flame... no, it won't burst if it sniffs smoke from the laser, it's just a passive device with an !explosive! charge. $29 USD

Careful with taking out those small particle filters.
I have a shopvac with dust class M/H (medium-high) and there is a whole section in the manual dedicated to cleaning it out because of the danger those small particles can pose in large concentrations. (Which is the reason you're filtering them out in the first place).

mann i want an xtool, they look so cool

[markburton]

I'm chuffed to bits! Welcome back! God bless!

[joe_fabricator]

Great video Katie, thank you. I may have to get my "Hands on" one of these. Cheers.

[mikebragg]

Another brilliant video Katie and really useful information… Love your videos…

[TC-yubo]

I watched the whole video even though I don't own a laser cutter.

[adamthepagan]

I appreciate an easygoing and open wardrobe selection as much as the next guy, but all the leering and harassment in the comments is getting wearisome. Yes, there's plenty of good visuals, we all know. She isn't too worried about it, so why should we be?

Some real good tech quality info, and from a knowledgeable, articulate, engaging, and classy lady.

Stop licking the icing, and enjoy the whole cake.

[OlavAlexanderMjelde]

It's good that you have focus on air quality, especially for people who DIY in their own homes.
But even at a "factory" the air quality is important, 3d printing with things like ABS etc. and also laser embossing, laser cutting does put dangerous particles and in some times gasses in the air.

I know some people say "It smells a bit bad, but..", however those small particles in the lounges cant get filtered properly.
So I persoanlly dont print ABS since i just have an open printer (a1 combo), if I did have it in a dedicated workshop it would be doable if I had some sort of air outlet or air filtering.

I have seen one guy fitting a 3dprinter inside a closet and then fitting air-outlet in the closet (like a ventiation system with a fan going to the exterior wall of the house).
For me though I'm not that hardcore, also there are many materials like PLA Tough and PETG or even materials with CF that I can print without too much fumes :-)

[MitchellGreen]

I would love one for my kitchen and my whole home for that matter! I would imagine I would need a lot of them though

[GhostRyderFPV]

The channel that checks all the right boxes, contains the relevant information that I need, provides insightful ideas that inspire me, and brightens my day!
...
It's about racecars, right? Music?
You know what, let me watch again and see if I can figure it out.

[chrisdixon]

Nevermind the workshop, I want one for my house! :)

[WoLpH]

It sounds amazing on paper, I really wonder if an independent testing lab comes to the same conclusion as they did and how long those filters will last. Most filtration systems require new filters every 6-12 months or so which seem to cost about 36+36+45+27+18=162 euro. Unless it has really advanced sensors you can't easily tell how clogged the lower filters are, so you'll have to replace them periodically to be safe. Still... an amazing deal for a filter that does all this, I might just buy this...

[esrider]

Ok, you got me thinking about buying one, even with existing user discount it's still in my opinion expensive. We already vent out a window with adapter made and 3D printed so back of X1 to window is only a few cms. Even so still smell fumes in room.

[over]

A few things. Before you buy one of these, buy an air quality sensor with a wide range "particulate matter" sensor. Graph it over a month.
You might find, living in the UK, that unless you live need a "dust" hazard or a very busy road, it will be near to 0 for all of them until you turn the cooker on to fry some chops.
However, you will probably also find, that whether you have that big filter running or not, makes little to no difference to the air quality in the house anyway.
The reason is basically to do with circulation. The little filters do not move enough air or have a large enough sphere of influence to not simply re-inhale the same air over and over again.
If you have an issue with VOC, PM or any unfavourable atmosphere... if it's inside, use an extractor to pull it out. If it's outside, phone your local council and environmental agencies. Shut your windows, use an air inlet fan with a filter.

Great video as usual 🙂 I’m wondering if it can be used as a general room air purifier? What are your thoughts? Did you try it with non xtool equipment too? It looks cool. Anyway, keep up the awesome work! Morgs from Australia 😊
