There has been a price increase due to increased cost from my builder.
This is the kit for upgrading your Proof of Concept Edition to the Devil1 Lobotomy Kit Production Edition
After the success of the Proof of Concept Edition of the Devil1 for xTool D1 machines, it’s time to take all the lessons learned and move on to the more refined and feature rich Production Edition. Don’t worry PoC owners, I’m sticking to my promise to you for an upgrade kit so that you’re not left out after having supported this little venture.
What’s changed?
Let’s start with the chassis. Professionally designed and manufactured, top to bottom. A bit bigger, with easier access to the ports on the back side. The LCD detaches by removing two low profile thumbscrews, which can go back into chassis and not stick out like a sore thumb. Extra cooling added, to reduce temps inside the chassis down closer to room temperature. Larger, more robust power switch, plus an extra switch for toggling on the cross hair (guide light), something that I mistakenly left out of the PoC edition.
That extra cooling is going to be helpful, as the stepper drivers have been changed out to higher precision versions which also quiet the D1 down while in motion. I know I love hearing my machines whir, but not everyone else does, and who doesn’t like more precise movement?
Speaking of movement, there are now limit switches for all four corners. While this does help prevent you from running the modules into the rails, there is another benefit. Not everyone liked Home being in the left front corner. Now, with switches in all corners, you can change Home to be in any corner you like. Have Y extension rails and want to change the origin to something that makes sense when you’re working from the side? No problem, it’s just changing the machine settings to put Home where you want it (this topic will be covered in the Support section).
The chassis wasn’t the only thing to get a makeover. All cables are now sleeved, and, labeled.
Assistmate, the little controller for automating air assist is part of the Production version.
One kit to fit them all – even if you don’t have Y extension rails now, Production version some with both short and long cables, so you can add the rails later and not have to buy anything else for your Devil1.
16GB SD card now comes standard. Load your frequent jobs up on it, run them from the LCD or web interface.

So I got this upgrade not sure I would be able to put it together and it would work when I was done.
I followed Cobey’s step by step and got the old Devil1 apart and the new bionic parts installed. It’s fabulous!
Don’t be scared! Just give yourself some time to do it right.
If I can assemble this anyone can!
Thanks for the great upgrade kit Cobey!

I installed this about a week ago, then took my time setting up Lightburn and tested it out last night. Overall it’s great. I used the longer cables due to installing the Y axis extension at the same time. The installation was straightforward using the provided instructions.
I kind of miss the noisier stepper drivers of the POC version, but if you are not into robot noises, these are nice and quiet. Addition of more limit switches means you can use any corner as ‘home’.
As usual, Cobey was very helpful when I had questions about what I would need with a Non-pro D1 20W Extended-Y setup using a drag chain for cable management. It turned out this kit includes everything I needed except a longer power cable for the 20W laser head, which you can also get here.

Corey kept his word. I bought the proto type and just finished upgrading last night. Awesome product with Awesome customer service. Will answer every question you have in a very timely matter. Can’t help the fact that XTool could learn something here. I have completely disconnected xtools motherboard and only use the Devil 1. Works perfectly. Did I mention The outstanding customer service, I sure did and wanted to say it again. Thanks
