(Great Video Kevin) I have been working with Kevin for a few weeks now and I have learned more in a few hours with Kevin than all my months of tinkering with Fusion. Highly recommended!
@@MechanicalAdvantage - No we had watched a video on cost to manufacture. It was very interesting just to go through the process uploading models and getting estimates ua-cam.com/video/psVpeic0oOY/v-deo.html
Hi I have a swift CNC 4.4 and 3 access how can I set up the Xometry part on my machine I just can clamp the material on working area of my cnc and can not turn the set up for next step would you guide me Thanks
Could have used this 8 months ago when I did my first attempt. Passed the inspection and began checking the job boards. Wow is all I could say because making money with them is like a wash. For the first five jobs from what I understand are the first tier jobs and after those 5 where you prove yourself you move up to the better jobs.
@@qcnck2776 Looking at the first five its depressing because I made twice as much now for the trade that I'm in. I'm factoring in my time, material and making soft jaws, inspection report time, packing, shipping for a one off part barely to break even so I don't even touch them. I can see where xometry could be good for a job shop being slow to keep an employee busy or something. I totally get it though. Why would Xometry give the top jobs to a n00b that hasn't proven him/herself first. How about some incentive though.... I'm not this hungry yet...
@@MechanicalAdvantage Don't be sorry at all! You have awesome videos. I did not but I should have because when I flipped mine over I had to machine a piece of material that fit perfectly between the two raised features and clamped in the vise. Actually you and I have exchanged several emails in the past about remote training. If you would like I'll send you my Fusion 360 file to see what my approach was? thanks again for bringing us great videos!
I don’t specifically have one for your mill, however, I do have a couple of playlists that I have created for creating a setup. That should apply to your machine. The biggest piece of info you need is where the WCS origin needs to be set for your machine.

Hey Brian. Thanks for stopping by. I’ll see you next week.
Wow! Just wow! This was an amazing video. I want to get into programming and this was just so exciting to watch.
Thanks for doing these videos. Very informative.
I always learn something from your videos! Thanks!
Well that’s good to know. I’m glad you picked up something new.
18:03 shouldn’t be the lead in radius 0 too? Should be a smoother tool path.
Mighty nice - we had used Xometry in class just to do time studies
Hi Ed. Did you send the parts out just to see how long it took to get them made? Is that what you meant by a time study? Glad you liked part one.

Awesome video! Can't wait for next one in the series. That voice? I'm pretty sure I know that voice 😉
Hi John. Glad you liked it. Hopefully you picked up a couple new things. Where do you recognize the voice from?
@@MechanicalAdvantage sorry just seeing your response. The voice most certainly sounded like Vince from NYC CNC.
Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome Craig. I’m happy that you keep watching.
Do you know what balloon #20 in the print is referencing?
I believe they are referring to the surface finish callout.

Thanks for the post. Are you saying that it is still a wash even after the first 5 jobs with them?

@@tdg911 Appreciate the detailed reply👍
Sorry! I guess my timing was off. Out of curiosity, did you machine yours in the same orientation I did for the first setup?

Hi Kevin my CNC is three axes ( swift CNC 4x4 ) from Laguna CNC do you have any video for setting up on my machine ? Thanks

I'm retired living on a fixed income, $500.00 a year for Fusion 360???
Is there an alternative?
It’s free if you make less than $1,000 of revenue a year from Fusion.
