XTOOL F1 ULTRA and RA2 Rotary Module Guide: Become a Tumbler Engraving Master (+ Upgrades and More!)
In this video I will take you in depth into getting started with the XTOOL F1 ULTRA and the RA2 rotary module! I will take you right from the basics to processing more challenging work pieces with a very useful upgrade for the RA2.
Although the RA2 is one of the best rotary modules out there – there are some limitations to what it can do and even more so when working inside of enclosed areas like the xTool F1 ULTRA. Therefore, I designed my tilt mechanism upgrade to overcome these challenges and unlock more possibilities when it comes to rotary engraving inside the F1 ULTRA.

Since the F1 does not come with laser safety glasses, I have made safety glasses available that protect your eyes from both blue and infrared laser light. (Perfect for the F1 ULTRA). You can find those glasses here:

In addition to the tilt mechanism, I have also designed and made available a V-Block fixturing kit for the XTOOL F1 ULTRA as shown in this video to process round items without the RA2. It also supports engraving for pencils and bottle openers:
