Questions before you start?

Are these verified settings?+

No. They are starting points. Even settings from a maker's chart change with your lens, focus, air assist and material batch. Run a test grid on scrap before cutting real work.

Where do the numbers come from?+

Rows labelled Maker chart come from xTool's published D1 Pro parameter charts. Rows labelled Vendor chart come from OMTech's CO2 cutting chart (95% power). Everything else is our own estimate, scaled between wattages.

Can I import into xTool Creative Space?+

xTool doesn't publish an import format for parameter libraries, so we export a sheet in xTool's units (power %, mm/s, passes, lines/cm) for you to type in. The LightBurn .clb export loads directly in LightBurn.

Do I need an account?+

No. Everything runs in your browser, and My Settings are stored on this device.
