    F1
  • Summary

    Thin copper sheeting and thin brass sheeting are both very useful materials for multiple reasons.  Thin pure copper can be used with stained glass to make unique fused glass designs.  Thin bits of brass are highly valuable for electronics repair and crafting.  The Xtool F1 is not stated to be metal capable, but in fact it is with proper settings and correct material selection.
    
    Applicable to jewelry like earrings , too.
    
    As an example of the application a battery holder for two small coin cells to make a 3V battery that can fit inside LED illuminated crafts is shown.
