    This was super-helpful. I just bought a mini CNC and was wondering what software would work best. The 2.5D information was brand new to me, so I'm really grateful for this knowledge.

    I subscribed. This is really great. I doubt I would ever need full 3D if 2 1/2D can do about the same thing but slower I guess. I need to research the difference between the two more, but this software looks like exactly what I need in that it is simple and free and straight forward too. Thank you so much.

    So, I built my own CNC. I did a pen test in a little are and it worked. My question is I am not sure how to setup the cnc carving area to make sure it does not over travel or how do I Specify z axis to only go down or tell the machine to start here? Just general start up questions.
    Can you do a video if not can you point me to a correct location?

    • @Iliketomakestuff
      @Iliketomakestuff  9 років тому +2

      Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB Well, to be fair.. it has handled fine for most of the things I've tried to do with it. Especially when doing engraving work with a v-bit. It's seems perfectly fine for that application. When cutting out pieces from 1/4-1/2 stock, it definitely shows its limits. I've had several situations where it just couldn't keep up, which forces me to abandon the cut and try again at a much slower speed. That's not to say that it CAN'T do them, but I had to counteract it's lack of power with lack of speed.
      All of that to say, I think it's a fine tool to get started with and the more you use the machine you'll start to get a better idea of HOW you want to use it. This will probably tell you whether upgrading the spindle makes sense for you. I've got a 300w quiet spindle coming in today, so I'll be posting about how much of an improvement it is (once I find time to install and test it)

  • @rond7230
    @rond7230 3 роки тому

    Love your video. However, just getting started with my new machine, a CNC3-3018Pro, and want to make something simple, such as a plastic box. That being said, I need to know how I can use a piece of 8" x 10"' piece of acrylic material, and cut a piece from it. For instance, being an 8" x 10", I'd like to cut it down the middle to get a 4" x 10" piece to work with. The piece thickness is 0.080" and would only etch the depth a little more than half way to ultimately snap into two equal pieces.
    So far, I can't seem to set the machine in a way to only cut two (x & y) sides, leaving the opposite (x & y) sides intact, and not be cut.
    Thus, leaving the two pieces in sizes 4" x 10" each.
    Any help you can offer, will be greatly appreciated. Using
    Starting anew, Ron D.
