Use the Roller - Rotary Attachment with xTool M1 Ultra

Updated Jan 2,2025

Use the Roller - Rotary Attachment with xTool M1 Ultra

xTool Rotary Attachment 2 Pro allows you to process regular and irregular cylindrical materials. You should use the rotary attachment with xTool M1 Ultra riser base, which raises the height of xTool M1 Ultra.

💡 Note: Rotary Attachment 2 Pro kit is sold separately. It is only included in the deluxe kit of xTool M1 Ultra.

#1 Preparations

STEP 1 Process materials with Roller mode

You need to determine the level at which the honeycomb panel is to be placed based on the diameter of the material, as described in the following table.

In the Roller mode, you need to set the level of the adjustable roller.

💡 Note: For detailed information and instructions on how to use the rotary attachment, see User Manual for Rotary Attachment 2 (RA2).

STEP 2 Set up the honeycomb panel

Remove the baseplate. Check the table and place the honeycomb panel according to your material diameter. For example, when we can process a cylinder with a diameter of 20 mm, the honeycomb panel should be placed at Level β.

Close the front panel.

STEP 3 Connect the rotary attachment to xTool M1 Ultra

Set the roller to Level A.

Insert one end of the connection cable into the connection port of the rotary attachment.

Place the rotary attachment with the material on the honeycomb panel.

Open the silicone plug of the rotary attachment port on the inner side of xTool M1 Ultra's front panel.

Insert the other end of the connection cable into the rotary attachment port. Connect the rotary attachment to xTool M1 Ultra.

#2 Start processing with XCS on your computer

STEP 1 Select the processing mode and material name

Connect xTool M1 Ultra to XCS, and select Roller - Use rotary attachment on XCS.

In the top right corner of User-defined material, select the name of your material and click Confirm.

Click More xTool materials in the bottom left corner to search for more materials. If you can't find the name of your material, you can select User-defined material.

STEP 2 Design objects for processing

Use the left-side tools to create objects on the canvas.

STEP 3 Edit objects and set parameters

Select objects on the canvas and set parameters for them.

You can further edit the objects by using the other features in the upper panel.

STEP 4 Mark the processing area

After you set the parameters for the object, click the flag to mark the processing area on the upper toolbar.

Select a marking mode Line, and click Start marking.

Manually move the laser module to make the red cross spot fall at one side of the target processing area, and press the Point marking button on the device to record the position.

Then, repeat the same steps to record the other side for the target processing area. You should mark the point at the highest point of the material.

Make sure two points are marked. Click End marking > Done, and then the target processing area will be marked out on the canvas.

STEP 5 Measure the thickness of the material

Open the lid. Move the laser module over the material to allow the red cross to fall at the highest point of the material.

Close the lid and click the Auto-measure icon to measure the distance automatically.

STEP 6 Preview the processing area

Framing means that the laser module moves along the boundary of the processed object on the material, so that the processed area on the material can be previewed. If you want to adjust the framing parameter, refer to Framing Settings for details.

Click Framing and Press the button on xTool M1 Ultra to start framing.

After you confirm that the processing area is proper, click Framing completed in XCS.

STEP 7 Start processing

On the bottom right corner of the software, click Process.

Check whether the accessories or modules are prepared before processing.

In the upper right corner of XCS, click Start. Press Start to start processing.

When everything is ready, press the button on xTool M1 Ultra to start processing.
