Note This kit is not for D1 series machines with Y axis extensions.
This is a handy dandy camera kit specific to the xTool D1 series laser engraver. Though it can be used just for monitoring the D1 doing its business, the real goodness comes from using it with Lightburn. (Sorry Laserbox Basic/XCS users, there is no integrated camera option for that software currently) For an idea of what it can do, please see the demo I did using the kit: Camera kit demo for xTool D1
Why so big?
More than a year has gone by since Geeks At Large released it’s camera kit for xTool D1 machines. Now that the big names have added their products to the mix, we only have one question: Compensating for much?
The Geeks At Large camera kit for xTool D1 machines is half the size, fitting into more enclosures than the competition, including their own enclosures!
Installation (general):
I tried to make this as simple as possible – it’s one screw to attach to the frame. So, like a minute of your time? For center mount, add two screws to a total of three. This is more along the lines of 5min tops. Once mounted, you aim the camera at the bed, and set the focus of the camera. I’ll put 5min here too, for a total of around 10min. And now you’re ready for doing the camera setup in Lightburn. Take a look at our support page for video instructions for assembly and Lightburn setup.

Love this camera. It is easy to install and set up. It has made such a positive difference in getting projects centered just right. The camera kit is short enough to fit in the enclosure that I have. Definitely recommend getting one if you haven’t already.

I bought my camera a few months ago. I just recently installed it and wish I wouldn’t have waited so long! This camera is a game-changer!! I also really love and appreciate the Geeks at Large customer service. I’m sure I ask some pretty goofy questions. They never make me feel dumb though. They answer every question quickly and with great respect.
