Quick start: | |||
Power on Redsail laser (this turns on main ventilation), power on xTool power strip (on wall behind xTool lasers; this turns on the xTool ventilation). | |||
Ensure the F2 Ultra is powered on by checking the lighted power button on the right side of the machine, or looking at the remote display laying to the right side of the machine. | |||
Open [https://www.xtool.com/pages/software xTool Studio] (installed on the design workstation PC, though you are welcome to install it on your personal computer / laptop). | |||
You can start a new project, open an existing one, or "explore" the xTool marketplace (there are LOTS of nice, free designs to use) - on the network drive, there is a folder for laser designs, available for anyone to use; Please feel free to add your designs to the folder, with a descriptive name. | |||
.xcs is an xTool project file, while .svg is a vector graphics file that can also be used with Lightburn, or imported into your xTool project (press the square icon with a + in it). | |||
If you have an xTool account, sign in / out at the top right of the window (looks like a robot). If you are signing up for a new account, you automatically get 200 "credits" that can be spent on designs, "AI" usage, etc. Each point seems to have a value of 1 US cent. | |||
For each new account signed into xTool studio, it will make you watch a ~2 minute laser safety video. | |||
I recommend using the "slats" (ribbed square to place material on), especially when you are learning this machine. | |||
ALWAYS CLOSE THE SAFETY COVER! It seems the safety disable feature has been disabled, so it is possible to run the laser with the cover open. | |||
DO NOT RUN IT WITH THE COVER OPEN! While it is useful when using larger material, it is an extreme safety issue, and should be used only in the middle of the night, with the doors locked and the lights off, while ninjas guard the entrance (and you wear laser safety glasses). | |||
The software is very user friendly, and will help you get started quickly. | |||
Bedtime for me now, I'll write more soon. -Be-rad! | |||
