The brand new xTool Wonderpress is here and after putting it through real first tests, I've got the honest verdict on the heat press, the oven, AND the mold-making attachment. Spoiler: not everything lives up to the hype.
In this video I'm unboxing the xTool Wonderpress, setting it up, and putting all three components through their paces so YOU can decide if it's worth adding to your craft studio. I'll show you the good, the bad, and the ugly — including which attachment I think is overhyped and which one actually surprised me.

AND I just hope that whatever you have from XTOOL is their UV printer because I am dying for that to finally drop so that I can see the comparisons between the eufymake uv printer and the XTOOL uv printer.
So, how much longer do we have to wait for the reveal??
I am most interested in the mold making also
I already have everything else even a vacuum press..
The mold making is the winning piece for me.
I wonder how many things we can mold at once and should we keep the mold in place until it cools to keep the shape right.
Will it be okay up against a wall?
and your the first one who has been honest, I don’t know if I’ve made a mistake because I was torn between this and the cricut auto press 2, but went for this because of the hype with xtool, I’ve not heard any negatively.?
And I don’t know when it’s get it. It just said September 🙈would appreciate your fed back ,,,help 😩lol
