I am “non technical.” I bought myself the absolute bottom of the line 5W Xtool. I quickly learned that the free software provided was not going to satisfy so I bought a Lightburn licence, which was great. Also learned that I had to get some experience with a vector graphics program so got Affinity Designer. Quickly learned that ventilation was an issue as well, the machine I bought was not enclosed. Was glad I bought the air pump add on for cutting. No wifi on my machine but as about as plug and play as it comes. Looking back the bottle neck is producing the graphics and files for engraving and cutting and sourcing stock to use in the machine. I quickly exhausted the machines capability to both engrave or cut.
