xTool F1 Ultra: The Perfect Craft Show Laser

I take the xTool F1 Ultra to a craft show and share how it handled on-site personalization, including the nearly $1000 I made in six hours.

I took the xTool F1 Ultra to a craft show with a Jackery power station, and over a six-hour show I made nearly $1000 in sales. That’s a big reason I wanted to make this video.

I show the projects I was engraving for people right there at the booth: handwritten hearts, keychains, metal wallets, leatherette ornaments and stainless steel necklaces. Being able to personalize something while the customer waits is a lot easier than I expected.

I also compare the Ultra to the standard F1. The extra power makes engraving faster, and I show Smart Processing in Creative Space on slate, where it saved a good bit of time.

If you’ve thought about bringing a laser to a show, this is an honest look at what that setup looks like for me and how it went.
