Make sure you are using mm and no inch. in order to get a proper movement.

If you are using Inch/minute you need to convert the numbers on the macro to work properly.

Understanding how the macro is working

First Line.

G38.3 probes towards a target and stops on contact.
Z-300 Is the axis that will move with G38.3
F300 is the speed for the Z-Axis

Second Line

G91 Set the position when the sensor touches the material to relative.
G1 Z7.1 Move to 7.1mm on the Z-Axis away from the material
F300 is the speed for the Z-Axis

  1. The very best investment!

    Joseph Moser (verified owner)

    This is the very best addition I have made to my Xtool/devil1!

    I have tremors in my hands and cannot feel my fingers… This auto focus has made it to where I do not have to touch my Module in order to focus… This is awesome!

  2. Awesome upgrade

    Mark Bigham

    Once set up it works flawlessly. I have been able to reduce power for cutting and reduce passes to accomplish clean cuts. This is a must have.

  5. Wow!

    Julie M Haubert (verified owner)

    I have been testing this autofocus and feel I can finally leave a thorough review. To start with, the first one I ordered, the post office must have run over with a truck as it was heavily damaged on arrival. Daniel was quick to reprint a new one and get it to me within a week. The autofocus is a little technical to set up, but doable even for an artsy type person like me. Also, when I had questions, Daniel was quick to respond and walk me through the troubleshooting until it was fixed.
    For the performance, it almost works perfectly to focus. There have been two to three times where a glitch on pushing the macro button the autofocus has ended up moving all the way to the top. I usually stop it and reboot the Devil1 and then it works normally. The real advantage that I find is on programming the steps down on each pass. I now can save a pass or two on cutting because the focus changes on each pass. If you’re going through something really thick, however, make sure to calculate the number of steps times the passes or the sensor may drag on the board. Not that I did that or anything….

  6. I love this thing

    Richard Bruner (verified owner)

    This makes focus so much easier and exactly the same every time. I have it set up for two different laser heads.

  8. Future purchase

    Steve Ferguson

    I plan on purchasing this as soon as possible along with the devil1. Daniel’s eye and strive for perfection is why I will purchase from him. I’ll leave another review after I purchase
