xTool Enclosure for Laser Engraver, Flame Retardant for xTool D1/D1 Pro and Other Laser Cutter, Laser Engraver Enclosure with Exhaust Fan, Isolating 99% of smog, Odor for Laser Engraving Machine

Fits gantry laser well, a bit fiddly to assemble and disassemble as the corners are held together with velcro. Apart from that works well!

The enclosure is good, works perfectly, but you will need to change the fan as its a joke, better not including it in it and tell customers to get one instead

I have a 5W D1 that I mostly use for engraving wood - no cutting. Occasionally I will engrave a ceramic tile. I’m a hobbyist and don’t put many hours on the machine (use it a couple times a week tops). I’ve been running my D1 in the garage during summer with two doors open to manage smoke and fumes, but that is not viable for winter. I wanted to move the machine into the basement, but have no working windows to vent through and didn’t want to bother with drilling new 4” holes to put in a new vent. My work area is near an old and unused central vac vent that is about 2” gray PVC. I took a chance on this enclosure with concerns that the fan wouldn’t be powerful enough and the 3”ish hose would not work in my situation. The supplied hose has about a 3” inner diameter (a little over 3”) and fits over a 2” white PVC coupling with some wiggle room that I sealed with duct tape. The 2” coupling is a little big for the 2” gray vent pipe, but close enough that the duct tape sealed it up. Before burning anything with the laser, I ran the fan to be sure air was moving through the vent. I checked outside, and the grass under the vent was moving from the air flow (vent is > 16” above the grass) and I could feel a lot of air moving. I burned a few items (pine, maple, and cardboard) and noticed no smoke exiting the enclosure. There is some smoke smell that gets out, but only noticeable within a couple feet of the enclosure and where the tape is sealing up the vent connections. I haven’t had a chance to do any tiles yet, so I don’t know how well that odor is contained. Overall, I am pleased with the fan and vent set up for my situation, but if you desire no odor to escape, the fan doesn’t accomplish that for me. It works well enough that I don’t plan to move the laser into the garage anymore though. The enclosure fits around the frame snugly. Without risers, the left side of the frame blocks much of the way inflow vent. The enclosure is not airtight, however, so there is other air that flows in. I don’t know if it’s balanced flow though. The enclosure is sturdy. It does smell like a smokehouse inside after a few burns. The inside probably needs to be wiped down occasionally to remove buildup. Some minor complaints is that once you extend the exhaust hose, it doesn’t go back to being collapsed. I don’t need it fully extended, but it doesn’t stay collapsed when I push it back together. Ends up being extra length for the air to move. The fan does not have a grill on it, so it would be possible for fingers to get in it while running (if feeling around on the inside if the enclosure for some reason). The plastic blades are dull and would not do any damage though. Also, it would be nice if the lid had some mechanism to hold it open. Not a big deal though. The biggest complaint is the holes for mounting the fan. They weren’t perfectly aligned with the holes in the fan and exhaust port, so it took a bit to get them in. Also, the holes were drilled small, so the screws had to be threaded through the holes in the enclosure, which made the misalignment that much more annoying. Eventually I got them through without having to enlarge the holes or drill new ones. I did install the fan backwards initially and didn’t notice until it was turned on and air wasn’t blowing out. I’m not sure if I missed something in the instructions or on the fan to indicate installation orientation, but that will be something to watch for. Overall, the enclosure so far does what I need it to do: keeps laser light mostly enclosed and away from wandering eyes (although I can’t guarantee the window blocks the harmful light), it doesn’t allow any noticeable smoke into the room, and manages most of the smell. I have no regrets in the purchase after having it a couple weeks.

Product exactly what was advertised fast delivery

The build quality of the enclosure itself is quite good. Very minor leakage of fumes,but a stronger fan could be added if you intended to burn anything that produced a lot of smoke. As it is intended to be a portable enclosure that can be folded up and moved easily, it works very well. Service and support is very good. The power supply for the fan did not fit the fan (minor quality control issue) but xTool we quick to send replacement parts. I did not ask for a replacement, as I'd gone ahead and fixed the problem myself, but xTool made sure to send replacement parts to ensure that all was well Kudos! In a nutshell, I'm happy with the enclosure.

I absolutely love this laser cutter enclosure! The materials are top-notch—very sturdy and well-made. It fits my Longer 5 (400mm x 400mm) nicely and snugly, and it really helps reduce the noise from the machine while it’s running. One of the biggest benefits for me has been how well it handles ventilation. It definitely helps manage smoke and odors, which is a huge plus when working indoors. Even though my laser cutter is from a different brand, this enclosure works perfectly for my setup. Overall, it’s worth every penny. It keeps things cleaner, quieter, and safer. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and durable enclosure!

Comes in a nicely packed box like the D1 engraver itself. This was bought separately after the purchase of the D1 engraver. Assembled in under 10 mins with clear instructions. The included hose/fan work nicely, air flow is sufficient. It does make a big different with the ability to vent out the air while you engrave or cut. I leave my hose at my balcony and my room do not smell at all unlike when I have open-air engraving. The enclosure itself "stick together" with Velcro, you can take it apart if you need to relocate it somewhere else. Small tip: If you find the top part of the enclosure if not stable, check the inside edge of the top, there is another set of velcro, it was not shown in the manually. Once you clip that particular velcro, top is quite solid. I like how it really quiet down the engraver once you close it. Overall, this is highly recommended if you have the D1/D1 pro.
