In our continuous pursuit of fostering creativity and empowering our xTool makers, we're delighted to introduce this grand upgrade ever: xTool Projects. This upgrade brings in revamped section pages with easy navigation, versatile editing features, and even more resources for you to share, learn, and inspire.

 

 

If you'd like us to walk you through all the exciting new features, please keep reading!

 

New Identity with an Enhanced Interface

In the previous xTool Community, our main objective is to provide users with a platform to share their work, acquire product and software skills, and solve problems. After carefully considering feedback from our users regarding confusion about our community niche, we have made the decision to reposition ourselves as a space focused on sharing work and finding ideas, and so our name was upgraded to xTool Projects.

 

We'll keep the popular 'Tips & Tricks' and 'Ask the Community' sections for a while, in order to let you guys save or download content, but we will eventually move them to the xTool Support Center, a more dedicated space for problem-solving and continuous growth.

 

 

Reorganized Sections for Exploration

 

Explore over 1,000+ projects shared by xTool users, your next inspiration is just a click away.

 

 

  • Featured: Our editors handpick standout works and creators to spotlight their creativity.
  • Machines (NEW): Browse and discover projects created for the exact machine you're using. This section is constantly updating with our product launches, meaning as soon as we introduce a new machine, you'll be able to find relevant projects tailored to it.
  • Materials (NEW): Immediately find your next project idea that matches the materials you already have. Whether it's wood, metal, acrylic, or fabric, find a project suited to your available resources.
  • Occasions (NEW): From birthdays to holidays and everything in between, our new 'Occasions' category is designed to help you find project ideas suitable for specific events or scenarios.
