Is the xTool P2S compatible with LightBurn? How do I use LightBurn with the xTool P2S?
Yes! You can use LightBurn to create your design and to operate the xTool P2S to cut materials. However, currently, the camera and auto-focus functions are not supported by LightBurn. You need to perform framing to preview the processing area and manually input the material thickness.
What is the difference between a standing CO2 laser cutter and a desktop CO2 laser cutter (like the P2S)?
When comparing the two to choose the right machine for you, consider your specific use case and the environment you'll be operating in.
For environments, like a craft studio, living space, or basement, that require mobility (such as moving upstairs or downstairs), a desktop CO2 laser machine is convenient. For ground-level spaces like sheds, warehouses, or woodworking space, opt for a floor-standing CO2 laser cutter to avoid moving up and down.
Floor-standing machines typically have higher power, around 100W, but may lack advanced intelligence and can be challenging to use. On the other hand, desktop CO2 laser cutters offer lower power, typically above 50W is sufficient for productivity, and often come with smart features
