The xTool D1 10W laser engraver has been a fun tool to play with. It's got a decent build volume, a pretty powerful laser (for a diode) and even comes with a rotary tool to let you engrave cylindrical objects.

I have a few projects I want to do with this in the upcoming weeks and months and I've already had a few questions on Facebook about how to do certain things, so expect more videos with this one!

I'll also be looking (or designing?) a laser cut kit at some point to make an actual camera that I can put film in and shoot... Like a real camera and not just a tiny decoration!

If you want to make your own camera pendant, the design by Alfarabius is available to download for free on Cults3D - https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/fashi...

Clarification about the xTool Honeycomb for the xTool D1 - I mentioned in the video that it's not available in the UK. To be specific, I meant there are no retailers in the UK that have it available for sale. You can still get it in the UK directly from the xTool website - https://bit.ly/xtoolhoneycomb
