For
Makers and laser operators preparing inner-engraved crystal blanks, with explicit presets for xTool F2 Ultra UV users.
Worth noticing
Its “Turn & Reveal” option is presented as a way to hide a second photo that appears when the crystal is turned a quarter turn.

Field notes

Controls cover crystal form, dimensions, engraving depth, masks, lettering, and three point-count presets. The interface lists Lite (600,000 points), Standard (1,500,000), and Premium (2,200,000), and says higher counts take longer to burn. It also warns that the xTool F2 Ultra UV's engraving area is 70 × 70 mm: larger entered blanks still download, but trigger a size note. Saved setups and a Burn log are also presented.
