The realm of design, creativity, and DIY culture thrives on innovation – on being able to physically keep up with our ideas. Crafters and aspiring entrepreneurs constantly seek tools that empower them to translate their visions into reality. xTool, a company championing this movement, consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. Their latest offerings, the M1 Ultra and the Heat Press, promise to revolutionize the way we approach creative projects, offering a powerful one-two punch for any crafting enthusiast. xTool has established itself as a leader in the laser engraving space. Machines like the S1, and F1 Ultra have garnered a loyal following for their precision and ability to handle diverse materials. However, given the rise of modular multipurpose 3D printers that can also CNC machine and laser cut, xTool decided that it was time to bring modularity to their flagship laser cutter – the M1 Ultra.

Although one’s eleventh anniversary isn’t actually associated with metal (it’s Turquoise, by the way), the famed maker of throwback controllers released metal versions of its widely popular SN30 Pro, giving fans of the brand a collectible they can actually use and, in case of an emergency, even throw like a deadly weapon.
