Learning Your Laser - Intro to Laserbox Basic for the xTool D1

Learning Your Laser. I get a lot of questions about the functionality of Laserbox Basic, the software for the xTool D1. So, I thought I would put together a video outlining how it works.

I just bought my first laser and your videos are without a doubt the best I’ve found.

Brotha thanks again for the educational video. I'm so excited to get mine put together and learn about it. You helped ease my worry about a lot of laserbox questions.

I love your videos! My xTool D1 just arrived today! I've got a ton of takeaways from all your videos. Keep up the amazing work!

Finally found a video that shows you how to start. First video I seen with you in it was over the top and wasn't instated on see others you made but this one was great. Thats for doing it.

Thank you so much for this video. I just got my xtool, finding that switch was about to make me give up on the Xtool. I googled and read everything I could, then I found this video and I heard the angles sing.

Thank you, love your information. But, I need info on adjusting the laser and the x, must be 1” or so in both x and y. Please.

[AntonioCruz-Dene]

Thank you so much! Was beginning to get frustrated, then ran into your channel. Subscribed and ready to learn. Thanks again!

Thanks for your videos!!!
I have my Xtool assembled, and I built a rolling work station.
Maybe I’ll get some burning in a couple weeks!

Great timing. My D1 is arriving today, and it's my first laser. I used your affiliate code. Thanks!

I recently purchased the Xtool D1 and I love this machine. It's a quality piece of machinery. I dumped the included software Laserbox right away for LiteBurn. There are 4 things that I wish the company would address in the future:
1. The electronics board is exposed and will easily dirty up with dust. There is no easy way to clean the board other than to occasionally use air pressure to get rid of the dirt.

2. The wire connectors to the motors, laser head and a rotary tool they are using are really intended for a more permanent connections. With repeated unplugging and plugging back in it is just a matter of time before one or more of the wires rip out of the connector. I know not to pull on the wires, but inevitably one will because it's a tight connection with tiny connectors. It's only 4 tiny wires, why not using a USB style connections?

3. The wire from the processor board to the laser head is simply hanging around and can easily get into the way of the work piece. Using a retractable coil cord would minimize this from happening.

4. My biggest complaint.... This thing need a limiter switch badly. Too easy it happens that the laser head smashes into one of the rails. Especially with newbies like me.

You are THE BEST! Two things you discussed were screwy on mine and once you mentioned them, I was able to correct them and start engraving! THANK YOU SO MUCH! No other videos covered that kind of stuff, so that's awesome that you did.

[austindavis]

Can it be setup to do more than one job at a time, ie: coasters?

[adriennemchenry]

I also appreciate these videos! I appreciate how thorough you are and engaging! Thank you for these videos!

[jansteffy]

Hey Dad when I try to connect my Xtool D1 Pro to my Laser Box on the screen it shows makeblock instead of Xtool I must have chosen the wrong device and I don’t know how to correct it

[jorgeretana]

Does anyone know how to calculate the run time on laserbox? It tells you the elapsed time but not how much is left. Thanks

[arcticfoxmarketus]

Man your videos are amazing. I just set up my D1 pro today and your video was an awesome first time walk thru. Thank you so much!!!

[bernardhoover]

Thanks for the video. It's very helpful and help ease the thoughts of using Laserbox. All your videos are awesome and very helpful. Thanks again.
