XTOOL D1 Pro In-Depth Setup Guide, Assembly, Creative Space Software Fundamentals and Fume Extractor

In this video I will take you in depth into getting started with the XTOOL D1 Pro laser cutter and engraver! I will take you right from the unboxing all the way to the complete workflow of processing your first job.

XTOOL sent me the D1 Pro 10W model to test and I've been genuinely impressed with the build quality of this laser cutter. This is not a long term review, however, and the opinions expressed in this video are (at this point in time) more like first impressions. That being said, I do believe that the D1 Pro will perform reliably over time based on the apparent quality of the parts. If anything changes, I will come back and update this video description to report my findings.

In addition to the setup guide, I have also designed and made available a fume extractor nozzle to eliminate fumes at the source:

Recently, I also added two more upgrades. A protective cover for the control board PCB and a cover for the main button so that it does not get accidently pressed:

Towards the end of the video (check the time stamps) I show the performance of the machine while cutting the clearance and fit test that I designed for slot and tab style panels / boxes. You can find that design here to test on your D1 Pro or any laser cutter for that matter:

Always remember to practice proper laser safety. These lasers can seriously harm you directly (your eyes) or indirectly (your lungs and health). ALWAYS wear your safety glasses! By-products from processing certain materials can be toxic and harm you. DO NOT CUT vinyl materials like PVC. Check this list for hazardous materials before cutting something:

You are the first person to post what xTOOL doesn't tell anyone. Bless you.

[SFCSMOKER]

Those dad-blasted red, white and yellow cables took me longer to connect than the rest of the assembly! I thank you sir for your video as it helped tremendously! A heart surgeon would have had a time with connecting those cables

[havocproltd]

"...kerf only has four letters..." and now I'm blowing martini out my nose! SIR! This is hands-down THE BEST tutorial I have ever seen on anything! You will see my order for the fume extractor momentarily. THANK YOU! Take extra desserts for the rest of the year!

[llkaygifts]

I was afraid of opening my xTool 10w, but when I watch this video, everything became clear. I put my machine together by watching this video; stopping and starting with each section. I have purchased the fume extractor and the power button. Now I am and ordering the the filter to use with my 3gal shop vac. I am so appreciative of your video. Your tutorial is beyond my expectations and the best video for putting thing together by far. Subscriber for life!

[timothywhite]

Today is day one for me with my D-1 after having spent yesterday putting it together. There were things i did not realize about cables etc.that were not explained in the drawings, and I learned a lot from this video. Thank You for putting this together. I have watched many other video's but this one explained things for a true 'Beginner' (I am technology challenged as well) and for that I appreciate your time and the time explaining things along the way.

[jo-nellisenhour]

I can't tell you "thank you" enough! I watched your video about 3 times, and then while I was putting it together I would just pause your video. Got it set up and working on the first try!!!

[queencityteashop]

I'm totally new to Xtool. I looked at a dozen videos. You're awesome. Your video is better than the actual manufacturer!!!!

[judithholland]

My gosh.. glad I found this tutorial. Saved me a lot of "anger" time with this machine. I just put it together and made sure the cable management was smooth once completed. Thanks a million. I really appreciate you.

[douglasscotto]

Really appreciate the detailed video with extras! I assembled mine about 80% of the way via the manual and then took a break to research further, finding your video during this time. The details with regards to the cable routing were amazing and I am nearly done with all of that in my setup. Thank you!

[BarbaraMulvey-wh]

I can't tell you how much you have helped me with your videos! I cant wait to receive your items that I've purchased!

[alieandtheAngels]

Just about to go and pick up my new D-1 Pro 20w with extender and you have made the thought of set up far less daunting!!!
Thank you so much for your fantastic guide... people like you make this World a better place to be in and we Thank You for your time and efforts - they are greatly appreciated (even here in little old New Zealand!), wanted you to know - even if you aren't always told so xxx

[danieller]

Thank you Very Much!!! While we watched your video to set up my D1 Pro XTool, my husband put it together while I "manned" the space bar for your video. hee hee You made this easier than the user manual, especially including the extra little details. We appreciate you and will be liking and following for future references. :)

[Stock_Skills]

Huge help!!!...I had to walk away for a day because I couldn't get the Y-axis aligned. Super Easy fix that my frustration wasn't allowing me to see. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.

[FernandoMartinez-ihrp]

Today my D1 pro Golden Red arrived and I had never seen a video about this, and thanks it was very useful as you explain it, you really speak very clearly, you have a new subscriber 😊

[rickparent]

Awesome video. We just received our D1 Pro today and this helped immensely. Keep up the good work!!

[midnightng]

I fully expected to see 1 million+ subs for this channel. Outstanding video, thank you!

[jennifercontreras]

Today I conquered putting the d1pro 10w thanks to you. The manual was good but you explained and showed me exactly what I needed to do. I appreciate you!

[hulabird]

As totally careful as I was to follow every single instruction they gave to the letter, I missed that connector at 6:56. I hadn't fired up the machine yet because I'm waiting for a couple more incidentals and while I do, I saw this video! When I watched this I went back and redid everything and I'm still working on it now going through second by second of this video. My belts weren't tightened properly, I just randomly attached the gantry somewhere in the middle instead of bottoming out at the back. THEN tightening the connector bolt screws. I felt like the instructions might have assumed end user knowledge being much greater than mine is. But this connector tucked in at 6:56 would have had me shipping the machine back 😭. Onward with new knowledge!!! Appreciate you!

[loribrooks]

Wow! Super helpful video (yes, even 1 year later). I just received my Xtool D1 Pro and will be assembling today. Your video is a game changer. Thank you!
