I used WiFi and ran the laser from a desktop PC. You can connect to the laser with a USB cord, WiFi or phone app. The D1 Pro does not have a screen of any sort and requires a computer to operate. The powerful 20 watt laser combined with a print speed of 400mm/s can cut and engrave faster to save you time when compared to a 5 or 10 watt laser like the Creality CR Falcon. The laser has a very finely focused beam, from. The D1 Pro has a number of sensors: limit switches to prevent the laser from hitting the sides of the frame, a gyroscope to switch the machine off if it’s picked up, or falls, during operation and a flame detector to switch the laser off in case of fire.
Optional legs can be purchased to lift the machine up for taller projects or to give clearance for long pieces of material to be passed underneath the laser. Steel wheels make the machine more durable and precise. We reviewed the “Golden Red” model, which was a nice change of pace from all the black metal hardware we’ve seen lately.Ĭables and belts are tucked away inside the frame, giving the machine clean lines.
The D1 Pro consists of a boxy aluminum frame and X-axis gantry with no screen. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) Design of the xTool D1 Pro
