    loving the fact that you create your SVGs from canvas!! Do you have a tutorial on how you do it-- mainly the steps for exporting from canvas and taking them into illustrator to make it a cut file? I can't find anything on UA-cam that explains this!

    Hey guys. Thanks for the video on the new XTool Creative Space. I am new to XTool and their products so this is a big help in getting me started. I've worked with Lightburn in the recent past but this is a little different and takes getting use to. I love the test cuts also but I have noticed that it is limited and not all inclusive. On XTools website, there is a more inclusive set of test cuts that you can download and add to your Creative Space during design and machine setup. Only think I dont really like is that you have to select each one of them individualy instead of an update to the program that would load them all at one time. Dont get me wrong, I love this feature. Saves us from having to do the work of designing a test pattern and using our material for a test cut or engrave. Keep up the videos as they are great.

    Is it a regular gopro you put inside while engraving and do you use any filters to protect the lens or is that not required?

    Ive always used borax. When i do a retirement plaque or such I stain the wood and get it ready for a clear coat then i apply borax and laz it. then a quick coat of clear. Borax will smug, so be at the point of applying a clear coat.

    After the engraving, run the file again but then score. You get a nice crisp edge.

    spray the borax and let it dry, then lightly sand it before engraving. 10 parts water to 1 part borax

    On a CO2 you can defocus a few mm to get darker engraves. On my Thunder Bolt I defocus about 4mm on Walnut to get a much darker engraving.

    Did you try compressed air on the borax to quickly blow out the soot before a spray. I find that helps my normal diode engraves but it will lighten them up but no more smudges
