Update of October 2, 2026: our Dual UV has been received and is operational. The timeline and screenshots below preserve the waiting history. We cover the setup and initial results in our first impressions with the O1 Omni.
After months of shifting dates, xTool has published something different from a “coming soon” today: a schedule with two specific weeks and a photo of the pallets. The machines exist, they are packed, and the first batch is on its way to Europe.
We are still waiting for ours, so this is not a review. It is what the announcement says, what it does not say, and what it means for anyone who has already paid.

The Two Dates
The announcement was posted by xTool’s official community account and gives two different targets depending on the region:
- United States: the week of August 15 for the first batch to begin leaving the local warehouse.
- Europe: the week of August 24, because they expect customs clearance and any possible inspections to take a few extra days.
Canada is also included in the August 15 date, but that detail is not in the announcement: the author added it in a later comment, and more than one person in the thread complained specifically that it had been left out of the main text.
What “Begins Leaving the Warehouse” Means
This is where it is worth slowing down, because the difference between the two interpretations is measured in weeks.
The week of August 24 is not a delivery date. It is when xTool expects to begin moving the units from the first batch out of its European warehouse. Before that, the ship has to arrive, clear customs, and be unloaded. Then normal fulfillment begins for each order, with its carrier and place in the queue.
And above all: no one has said that your order is in that first batch. xTool says literally that it will ship new batches every week and publish a detailed schedule by order date and production batch once production capacity has been confirmed. That schedule is the information that is genuinely missing.
It Is Both a Delay and an Earlier Date
It depends on what you compare it with, and both comparisons are accurate.
Compared with what xTool had announced—early August—this is late. They acknowledge that in the text itself and apologize, attributing the delay to customs and processing at local warehouses.
Compared with what was being said in the community three weeks ago, it is considerably earlier. In July, people were saying that the textile version would not arrive until the end of October, and we ourselves reported that estimate while noting that it came from the community. The official schedule renders it meaningless: it was pessimism, not information.
How Many Machines, and Why It Matters
The announcement provides one figure that helps put the rest into perspective: they expect to have more than a thousand units in their local warehouses by the end of August, with batches going out every week.
That figure is what makes the schedule credible. A thousand units will not cover the entire presale—the text itself says demand has exceeded their forecasts and that additional suppliers and production lines have been added to respond—but it rules out the scenario people feared most: ten units for beta testers and the rest at Christmas.
What Changes for Us
We have paid in full for a Dual UV Versatile [xTool EU] and still do not have a machine, just as we did last week. What changes is the schedule for what comes next.
We had planned for October the things that can only be written with the machine in front of us: the no-drama unboxing, the first real hours of use, the material-specific settings that actually work, and—this is what really interests us—the workflow of printing on the Omni and cutting on the P3. If the first European batch goes out during the week of August 24 and our order is included early, that moves up to September.
Until it is here, we are sticking to the same rule as in the previous ten articles: anything we say about how it works is attributed to xTool, a named beta tester, or the community. Once we have it, that will be obvious without us needing to announce it.
How to Check It Yourself
Update, August 12, 2026: xTool has now opened an individual O1 Omni shipping checker. It requires you to log in, shows the orders associated with your account, and is updated once a week.
Actual status of our Dual UV order: data from August 11, shipping date still unconfirmed, and the next update announced for August 18, 2026. We have hidden part of the order number.
This tool replaces the generic waiting period with information associated with each purchase, but it does not automatically assign a date. In our case, a dash appears under “Estimated shipping date,” along with a message saying that the date has not yet been confirmed. That is why we cannot say that our machine belongs to the first European batch.
If you have an order, there are three things you can do this week. First, confirm that your final payment has been completed, because the shipping order has so far been communicated as being based on when payment is completed, not when the deposit was paid. Second, access the checker using the same account you used to purchase. Third, if you have already received a shipping notification, use the carrier’s tracking system, which is more up to date than this weekly page.
And if you were waiting for the machine to exist before deciding: there are pallets now. That does not answer how it prints, which is the important question—and we will answer that when we can do so with our own machine.
