A weekend with Studio and a few surprises
I spent this weekend deep in Studio and found myself enjoying it far more than planned. What started as a simple look at the Applications menu turned into a solid discovery session and a reminder of how much potential this software has.
Yours truly in the garage, living the dream ;)
This weekend felt like one long creative stretch inside Studio. I finally took some real time to explore the Applications menu and it turns out a bunch of the features we knew from XCS have been living here all along. They just feel better now. Smoother. More confident. No more clunky little experiments that make you wonder who snuck them in.
The surprise star was the box generator. In the past I used to visit other sites and pretend heavy math did not scare me. Now Studio just asks for my material thickness and the size I want. I pick a style and a few moments later there is a finished box waiting for me. It feels like a magic trick without the dramatic cloak swish.
Smart Nesting deserves some applause too. Watching it rearrange my cuts to save material is strangely satisfying. It feels like watching a tiny puzzle solver that always knows the best move. More efficiency. Less waste. More time doing the fun part.
Busy weekend playing with xTool Studio, diving deeper into the Applications Menu
Behind the scenes I am wrapping up the next video in the Studio series. This one is all about the Applications menu since so many people are still unsure about Studio and what it can really do. There is a lot of good in Studio with a sprinkle of not so good. This video will help you see the strong side of the Applications menu before I move on to Batch Fill next. That feature needs a camera which I do not have in the xTool S1 so I will be using the XCS Mobile app for the demo. Plenty of fresh content coming up.
And yes we reached five thousand subscribers on the channel which still feels unreal. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. If I can figure all this out you can too. You got this.
More project notes and behind the scenes updates coming to this blog soon.
