Running a diode engraver like the F1 or D1, or a fibre machine like the F1 Ultra or F2 Ultra, exposes you to two very different hazards: visible blue-violet light around 450 nm and invisible near-infrared light up to 1080 nm. Most safety glasses cover one or the other, not both. The xTool Laser Safety Goggles for 316nm-450nm & 900nm-1080nm Lasers are built to cover both bands in a single pair, so switching between an xTool diode and fibre machine does not mean switching eyewear too.
For hobbyists running more than one xTool machine, small businesses engraving daily across a mixed fleet, and schools sharing F, S, M, and D Series machines between students, one pair that covers the common wavelength ranges is simpler than stocking several.

Who the xTool Laser Safety Goggles for 316nm-450nm & 900nm-1080nm Lasers are built for
Hobbyists running more than one xTool machine
Many makers start with a diode engraver and add a fibre machine later once they start marking metal. Rather than buying a separate pair of glasses for each, these goggles cover the 316-450 nm range a diode source like the F1 or D1 puts out and the 900-1080 nm range a fibre source like the F1 Ultra or F2 Ultra produces, so one pair follows you between machines.
Small businesses running a mixed engraving fleet
Production engraving across several machine types means staff moving between stations through the day. At 35% visible light transmittance, these goggles stay bright enough to check work in progress without lifting them, and the 50 g frame is light enough for a full shift without the fatigue heavier industrial eyewear causes.
Schools and makerspaces with shared machines
Where F, S, M, and D Series machines share a room, a supervisor needs eyewear that is correct for whichever machine a student is using that period. Since this pair covers both the diode and fibre wavelength ranges used across that machine list, there is no risk of a student grabbing eyewear rated for the wrong laser type.
What sets the xTool Laser Safety Goggles for 316nm-450nm & 900nm-1080nm Lasers apart
Two wavelength bands, one pair
The lens is rated across 316-450 nm and 900-1080 nm, which between them cover the visible blue-violet output of xTool's diode engravers and the near-infrared output of its fibre machines. That dual-band coverage is what lets one pair follow a mixed fleet of xTool F2, F1, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra, S1, M1, M1 Ultra, D1, and D1 Pro machines, at an OD5+ protection rating.
Bright enough to still see your work
At 35% visible light transmittance, the tinted lens cuts the hazardous wavelengths without turning the workshop dark. You can still judge material colour and engraving progress through the lens, which matters when you are checking a job without opening the enclosure.
Light enough for a full shift
At around 50 g, the frame sits comfortably for hours rather than pinching after twenty minutes, which matters in a classroom or workshop where the same pair gets handed between several people across a day.
Everything you need to protect the lens
Each pair ships with a glasses case, a soft bag, and a cleaning cloth. The coating that filters specific wavelengths is on the lens surface, so scratches from being tossed in a drawer degrade the actual safety rating, not just the appearance.

Laser safety standards and compatible machines
Why two wavelength bands matter
A lens rated for one wavelength band can do almost nothing at another, which is why a pair rated only for visible blue-violet light is not a substitute when you switch to a fibre machine. This pair carries an OD5+ rating spanning both the 316-450 nm band diode sources use and the 900-1080 nm band fibre sources use, so it stays valid whichever of the compatible machines you are running that day.
Which machines this pair covers
This pair is rated for xTool's F2, F1, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra, F2 Ultra UV, S1, M1, M1 Ultra, D1, and D1 Pro, including diode machines like the xTool F2. If you are running a CO2 machine such as the P Series, or the fibre welding-specific MetalFab, check the wavelength rating on the box before assuming this pair covers it too.

Ordering, shipping and support
These goggles ship nationwide by courier from 3D Printing Store's branches in Centurion and Boksburg, with collection available from either. As PPE, they are covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects, handled locally through our service team. If your workshop runs a mix of machines, the full xTool range and other laser eyewear options are stocked alongside them.
Frequently asked questions
Are these better than the xTool welding goggles or the extended-range goggles?
Not better, just matched to a different job. The welding goggles are rated OD7+ for the 1030-1100 nm band the MetalFab uses, and the extended-range pair covers a wider 190-460 nm and 800-1100 nm span at OD6+. This pair sits in between, tuned specifically to the diode and fibre wavelengths used across xTool's F, S, M, and D Series engravers.
Do these protect my eyes on every xTool machine?
They cover the F2, F1, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra, F2 Ultra UV, S1, M1, M1 Ultra, D1, and D1 Pro. They are not rated for the MetalFab's fibre welding output or for CO2 machines like the P Series, both of which need eyewear matched to their own wavelength range.
Will I still be able to see my work through the lens?
Yes. At 35% visible light transmittance, the yellow-green tint dims the hazardous wavelengths without blacking out the workspace, so you can still judge engraving progress and material colour through the lens.
How should these goggles be cleaned and stored?
Wipe the lens with the included cleaning cloth only, avoid abrasive cloths that can scratch the coating, and keep the goggles in the supplied case between sessions. A scratched lens loses some of the filtering that makes it safe to use.
