If you could only bring one machine to a craft show what would you bring
We set up a mock outdoor booth and put the xTool F2 Ultra to work to see if one compact laser can handle on the spot personalization and small product runs
In this video we test five money maker categories and create 25 quick gift ideas you can personalize while the customer waits
• Jewelry test fast name engraving on metal pendants
• Accessories keychains pet tags watch bands hair clips luggage tags license plate frames croc charms
• Hat bar leather patches acrylic patches hat clips plus a heat press workflow
• Gift items plant stakes with color engraving on stainless salad tongs trays bookmarks cutting boards shot glasses switch plate covers
• Home decor coasters mini signs wall art and a ten inch round with a cut last name
Why this works for craft shows
• Camera alignment in xTool Studio for precise placement
• One click materials library for fast setup
• Color engraving on stainless for premium looks
• 40 watt diode for cutting and engraving wood and dark acrylic
• Portable power tested with a Jackery so you can engrave anywhere
