What a great thing for a company to do. So far this has been an excellent program with no problems. Winston, I have follow you for the last year. and you are the reason I bought a Shapeoko. No regrets.
Simply wow. Really looking to dive into this. I already have some projects I'd like to be done with grayscale height map, which, I'll be honest, I didn't knew about until a week or so. This and some epoxy, hummm, some more fun to come !!! Thanks Carbide3D team.
Thanks so much Guys - Slowly getting up to speed on the XXL - This really helps. Any videos or sources to help guitar building techniques and/or procedures?? Mucho Tanks!! Bob Son Set Beach Productions - Concord, NC USA
Downloaded the free pro trial, how do I get the import button to show in the model tab? Also in my toolpaths I only have 3d finish, no button for 3d rough
I’m looking to buy a Carbide the only thing holding me back is how I’m going to make the design for a gun mold in the software for making holsters. Any advice to help me?
I just bought my XXL and was trying to figure out how to do 3D carvings in Carbide Create. This is going to help out a lot. Even if I don't keep it after the year is up I'm just glad that the free version has V-carving included as a standard option. Sadly enough that was one of the tipping points that got me to choose the Shapeoko 3 over the X-Carve.
Hi, how its working ? Should i load ready file for eg. fusion 360 and this software will generate paths? Which type of file this program use from fusion 360?
Are there any plans to add the ability to import STL files into this software? Vcarve has that option and it makes it really easy to import 3D designs from fusion 360.
The startup FREE year subscription is a great idea. I suggest creating the infrastructure for users to gradually pay forward a discounted price point for the projected cost of the final release. That way you will be partially crowd funded and users will get involved as paying clients rather than " Freeloaders ".
Winston Are there tutorials some where to learn how to use the Pro version. I have a XXXl That I bought in 2017. Will the controller that came with it back then work with the new CM version that has the bit setter. Thanks Jeff
More CC Pro content to come, one just uploaded today. Also some written tutorials on the forums (community.carbide3d.com/t/carbide-create-pro-free-for-a-year/20918/91) If you can use a touch probe, you can use a bitsetter. Should be compatible with almost all Shapeoko 3's, but wiring may be slightly different. Will be in the instructions.
So.. Forgive me, but I'm new to Carbide software. I just purchased my Shapeoko XXL and a total newbie to CNC. I have been learning on a Redsail 4040. so do you purchase Carbide create Pro Or do you do a monthly subscription?
Carbide Create Pro can be purchased as either a one time perpetual license, or an annual subscription at a lower cost. We are currently providing a free one year subscription.
If you jump to and started with Fusion 360 life will be oh so much better. Also with the XXL the middle (dead center) has a tendency to dip especially if you have heavy stock or always lean on the machine securing stock down. Finding support for the middle of the base or the aluminum base is a must for acurate detail across 32"x32" because of elasticity in the Z/A axis and spring on the board. However the machine cuts just fine without "special attention" you just might have to plunge deeper into your scrap waste board and more gingerly compared to that 4040 to cut 100% through.
i'm a artist who uses Blender for modeling. i do occasionally mill things too. can an .stl file from Blender be imported into Carbide 3D? i really don't want to learn another CAD program. learning Blender was a nightmare for me. but i would try if i absolutely had to.
Why would anyone buy the perpetual at $360. PLUS $120 per year for updates instead of just paying $120. Per year? I don’t understand why every software is a subscription now instead of being able to buy the software like we used to.
Carbide Create is an awesome company!!! I needed a single v wheel and instead of making me buy an entire tune up kit they sent me 2 wheels free of charge. And now this!!! I just tried the link for CC pro and it only offered me a 30 day trial, not sure why. Has any one else tried the link yet?
My link was only for 30 days also I could not get carbide create to open to be able to paste the new license into it. When I opened it all it did was run and then I was told it was not responding.

So excited to try the free programming. I love my Shapeoko xxl
That's really cool. Opening possibilities.

New to this my question is why cc cannot take stl files ? Fir 3D ?
1 year free trial still available?
Is the free trial still available? I am waiting for the Pro XXL to be in stock to order and would like to learn the software prior. Thanks.
Wheres the best place to get 3d g code for shapeoko projects? Can I get the c3d file for this horse you made?
Hi, how its working ? Should i load ready file for eg. fusion 360 and this software will generate paths? Which type of file this program use from fusion 360?
I have pasted the code to Carbide Creative, and it says update available, and then whats next???
Been trying to find a tutorial on making my own height maps.
great vid, question, can this program be used on any cnc machine?
I just received my shapeoko pro....how about renewing that Carbide Create Pro offer =) ?
Is this over? The free trial?
Thanks for answering my one question....Engineer and maker of mechanical contraptions...
how do i get the free year all i got was a month? will it generate and save gcode ?
Are there any plans to add the ability to import STL files into this software? Vcarve has that option and it makes it really easy to import 3D designs from fusion 360.
Awesome guys! Thank you!!
What’s the triangle limit for Carbide Pro? Fusion 360 has a 10,000 limit
Just to double check but this can’t be done in Carbide Create standard right?
Correct.
The startup FREE year subscription is a great idea. I suggest creating the infrastructure for users to gradually pay forward a discounted price point for the projected cost of the final release. That way you will be partially crowd funded and users will get involved as paying clients rather than " Freeloaders ".
Will this work with the Shapeoko 3?
Carbide Create Pro works with any Shapeoko and most other brands of CNC machines.
Winston Are there tutorials some where to learn how to use the Pro version.
I have a XXXl
That I bought in 2017. Will the controller that came with it back then work with the new CM version that has the bit setter.
Thanks Jeff

Is anyone experiencing the program crashing. It reaches 25% render and freezes. Any suggestions?
The Link doesn't work. If the free offer is over, you should remove the link.

STL Imports are definitely a thing in Carbide Create Pro: ua-cam.com/video/dRpdDpf1UKk/v-deo.htmlsi=VAlBnYW3jqV_MhJ1
For additional information, here’s our Carbide 3D Education video covering use of the STL Import Tool: my.carbide3d.com/gswccpro/07/
I can,t sign in to my account to get the CCpro . but I can sign in to the Shapeoko forum Ok what could be the problem
Jeff
Those accounts are not linked, you need to create a new account most likely.
it no longer works. Dang
thanks for the offer
A very big, THANK YOU

Make sure you paste the full URL with the '/promo' suffix.
I received two separate emails from them, one with a 30 day and one for the year. I think it's a system glitch.
My link was only for 30 days also I could not get carbide create to open to be able to paste the new license into it. When I opened it all it did was run and then I was told it was not responding.
Thanks
please try to make wooden hand watch
Well, I guess one month is better than nothing. Please edit your post to reflect that it’s now only one month in length for the Pro Trial.
First, been waiting for this.
Unfortunately this video is now useless due to massive configuration changes in the software.
Ah man I missed out.
Looks like my license is only for 30 days not a year...
Use the full link with '/promo' at the end.
@@carbide3d Thanks Carbide 3D for putting the software out to all for a Year this is a great jester.
Thank You

Good overview. But far to fast to be a tutorial.
Thanks so much! It has crashed twice so far, FYI.
Even after using CC free V for 2 years, your going way to fast and not enough detail on HOW TO
