xTool Just KILLED the Cricut? (M2 Color Craft Laser First Unboxing)

xTool M2: https://www.xtool.com/products/xtool-... The xTool just dropped the M2 Color Craft Laser — a print AND cut machine that's coming straight for the Cricut. In today's video I'm setting it up for the first time, running it through 4 different projects (coaster, cake topper, felt flower, engraved tumbler), and giving you my honest first verdict on whether Cricut should actually be worried. Hope I inspired you to create! 💕 — What I tested in this video — ✂️ Basswood coaster — laser cut with the 10W 🎂 Cake topper — full color print AND laser cut in one machine 🌸 Felt flower — something the Cricut just can't do cleanly 🥃 Engraved tumbler — first time using the rotary attachment — Tell me in the comments — Are you buying the xTool M2, or are you sticking with your Cricut?
