Overview

xTool has announced a new multi‑purpose crafting machine that could be one of the most affordable ways to start an Etsy shop. Its modular design lets users attach a CMYK print head that works on a variety of materials—including paper, wood, and felt—and later swap it out for laser‑based cutting and engraving tools. For example, the M2 can print and cut stickers, or it can etch designs onto metal water bottles. Although the machine’s footprint is larger than a typical desktop printer, its upgradeable functionality justifies the size.

• CMYK inkjet printing – compatible with paper, wood, felt, and other substrates.
