F1 ultra first impressions

Love your content...watching video headed to craft event in Vincent, al...looking at getting f1 ultra soon

Thanks Dave, been looking at this machine and cant wait for more info as i belive this is gonna be my next work horse

Great informal video! I was looking forward to it. The Ultra seems like a great machine with a lot of added great capabilities. My only concern is the build structure of the machine as I am OCD about this kinda thing 😅

I've seen it advertised that it can make 3D embossings. I'd love to see how realistic it actually is to do a job like that

I can run either from my EV but, like you, intend taking the F1 to shows and leave the ultra at home.

I’ve been waiting for your take on the F1 Ultra. The only opinion that matters. 😉I have the F1 but I’m waiting for the ultra to arrive.

Thank you for this video. Also of good information. I will be watching it again at some point before get mine. I like the WiFi feature to send files to it. Have you noticed any additional odors than the F1? Thank you for going through the calibration process. Thank for doing this! I would love to see the embossing.

Excellent! I recently bought the F1 and I was experimenting - I had since convinced myself (because I am interested in making jewellery) that I would need to step up to the Ultra. However, although the Ultra is a capable machine, I think a 100 watt Mopa would suit me better. I more want to experiment than just grab a blank and engrave it, to see what I can do, so it would be a mistake to set my sights on the Ultra. I love my F1 and have a ton of uses for it, and love the portability for events and such, but the Ultra clearly isn't the upgrade I need. I didn't even know what Mopa is so thanks for highlighting that I can spend less and get much more machine, for what I plan to do. Helpful details here in this video.

You said $4K machine and I said I’m out! LoL

This is helpful Clack! Thank you. One question…I see your smoke outlet tubing from the Lasermatik and the F1 in the background but wonder where they ultimately connect to? I think that area in your shack is a fair distance from outside so I don’t think you’re venting it outside. Would you mind showing us your smoke extraction set up for those? Thank you in advance sir!!!

Will you be making a jig kit? Not just the adapter? You could double the objects on the plate.

Why do you have jigs for everything if it has a camera? (Sorry if stupid question but I am new to all this!)

I'd like to find out or see if anyone use acrylic on it?

I’ve noticed on this video and the Roly laser matic you’re not wearing eye protection. Is the cover enough when closed properly? I’ve read you should still wear glasses.

How would you adjust it if the auto measure doesn't show zero with no material on the bed? Mine keeps coming up 0.4.

I'm Curious if the IR/Fiber will engrave/mark cast iron?

Do you need a computer at all (set-up) or can you run everything from wifi?

With the 1064 Fiber will it cut clear acrylic?

Can you get white on cards with diode
