You are driving all the Jeep guys crazy with that extra grille hole vector.
His OCD was on vacation that day.
The seven slots that make the grill stand for the 7 pillars of manufacturing or so the autoworkers are told.
Interesting factoid.
ok, the 'highlight a bunch of nodes and delete them all at once' is something I didn't know before. Thank you. Deleting them one at a time was like chewing glass.
And 'space items' is a genius feature. Thank you.
I need to watch this in slow motion when it comes to your thought process on choosing the layers in the tool path menu. DAAAeeeemn that was fast!
You’re gonna get up to speed. Just make layers part of your regular workflow. 😉
Excellent video. Just what I needed. It really helps me understand the thought process as you step through the design from beginningtoend. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for the feedback Stuart. We’re happy you enjoyed it.
Another awesome video tutorial! Thank you. I watch these videos multiple times and pick up "Little" tricks each time. Still trying to wrap my head around layers, little steps.
Right on Eric. Glad you’re finding value in the vids.
Here’s a little known thing I found AFTER I made my first cribbage board. It would have saved me a whole lot of time and you a little bit of time when selecting the lights…under Edit/Select there’s an option to select all of the circles 😝
Great call out Lori. When using that tool, remember that your circles are created by radius, but then selected in that tool by diameter.
More of this...a lot more if you can. Process videos are a fantastic way to see the "what if."
Hey that is my file LOL The reason I only have 5 slots is because can't sell 7. This is a file I sell on my Etsy store as well as the tray.
HOT DAMN!! Learned a ton on this one!!! Thank you So Much!!
Great video! I didn't even know about the even spacing feature yet, and I realized i need to utilize layers more. Thank you!!
I'd love to see an in depth video like this for a 3D cut using an STL file. I've done cuts successfully but I could get through them quicker if I had a better understanding of "base height" and "add/subtract/etc" and things like that👍🏻
I agree 100%. And what does "multiply" have to do with wood cutting? That and "Layers". With the exception of locking and unlocking so they won't be selected, I have yet to figure out why layers are supposed to be useful to me and I've been at this for two years.
You can "Machine by Layer" in your toolpathing. This is handy for applying a series of toolpaths which will be run in the same way, but are mixed throughout your design. "Chamfers" is the operation I use most often in a Machine by Layer situation.
Thanks, Kevin 👍
When it come to Toolpaths, I always include the cutter number in the toolpath name. I use to run different files(duplicate) one for each cutter. I was doing that before there was a tool change option and also to limit the running time.
Great add, Marcus. Thanks for chiming in.
I just recently figured out that if your grouping just press the letter 'g' and it will group it. Really like that feature.
Now try pressing “U” to ungroup. 🤯
Great video, the first design was not good. Your design had much cleaner lines and very informative on the groups and layers. Thank you for the tips and the hot key information. Loving my Shapeoko 5 pro, two months in and lots of cool projects made, and learning more everyday. Thanks for the great content!!!!
Right on John.
I appreciate the video showing the details of editing a file. Thank you, it was very helpful, need more of these videos. Is there a cut sheet of specs on rates per bit by material type, other than the recommendations in the program. Seems there's a lot of changing those values based on "experience", which would tell me the rates could likely be changed in a table some where in the program so they don't have to be later changed individually each time you're working with a file. Again, thank you for the Barney-Style instruction. Slowing down your thought process to match the experience of your target audience is a good thing.
Hey Dave.
I have not charted the changes I typically make to our standard speeds and feeds. You can save changes to tools in your library or create your own specialized tool library with you own charted speeds and feeds.
I’ll think about charting my own typical changes.
This is an amazing insight in how to use CC pro. When did that other feature come out? Is it in beta? Also why is ramping helpful? I have cc pro but don't use ramping yet.
Those features are in the current stable version of Carbide Create.

Ramping helps relieve some of the stress on an endmill during the plunge portion of a toolpath.

Could you have used the array tool when duplicating for layout? Lovin the videos learning a new trick every time. Thanks for your hard work and dedication, Cheers
Definitely the array tool can be used in a variety of situations. There are often multiple ways to get to the same ending.
Is there a video or link to paper on how you decide how fast to set your bit settings like plunge and step over I am new to this and just use defaults and everything takes …. forever. Thanks
Try speeding up during the cuts in carbide motion with the 10% button. As it works okay then hit the button again. When you feel like it is effecting quality back it down. Make note the final % used and calculate it to the bit settings.
I think you could have arranged them 4x4 if you inverted every other row so the headlight bump out would nest against the one next to it.
That’s a good thought.
Snap to grid sucks that is all. 😜 edit: I guess it works sometimes haha. Good video.
Amen!
😂😂
Love watching you work, Kevin. A thought popped into my head (dangerous, I know): in SketchUp there is a special group called a Component. Like groups, components and be copied and pasted, and even grouped together to make larger groups. The awesomeness of a Component is that if you edit one, anywhere within your job, EVERY OTHER component that was copied and pasted from the original inherits the changes made.
I thought of that when I was watching you and noticed you had put too many bar vectors in the grill. I think you had six instead of five. That would be a hassle if you had to go back and edit each group and redistribute/align the elements. But not so if they were Components.
Any chance of getting something like that built into Carbide Create? It would be awesome and a huge time saver in certain instances. Just brain storming.
Thanks for posting.
Hey Davey.
You’re talking about parametric modeling. This would be very nice, we agree. There’s a bunch of heavy lifting to get to that point. We will definitely continue discussions about this capability with the software team.
Keep the brainstorms coming. We appreciate you being a member of the Carbide 3D Family.
Thanks, Kevin. Here's something that might be easier to executive within the programming of CC: the ability to create radiuses, on say a three-sided rectangle. Where one side is still open, but two corners still exist. Maybe select the radius button and then a node at a corner to have a radius applied. Currently, if I draw seven vectors all at right angels, without multi-step gymnastics, there's no way to apply a radius one corner individually. Just another storm of the brain. Thanks for listening.@@carbide3d
Alternate rows right side up then upside down and they would nest closer together. Would have fit your 16 on there then.
Hey you mentioned making a disc. Can you show that process sometime please?
Andrew. Give me a little more info on what I referenced….?
@carbide3d you did a live q&a I believe. Near the beginning you said you made a disc a little while ago, but needed to use fusion 360 to get it done...
I'm trying to make a disc golf disc..
We made a putter a while back. But no Frolf Discs as of yet.
Hotkeys for grouping would be great
There is. Just press the letter G. U for ungroup.
Is there cheat sheet for short cut?
Here's the list: carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/shortcuts
Is this a good place to ask the Carbide Create devs to add more hotkey actions like for grouping, editing nodes, etc ... ? 😂
We’ll pass along your request. 😉
@@carbide3d They already did it. Its been working.
Why can't you just run a v on the original lines with no offset?
Because V-Bits generally have a slight flat tip. If you run along the same vector line the result will be a chamfer with a definite line below it.
By offsetting slightly, the cut produces only the angle of the V-Bit without leaving a line.
@@carbide3d thanks I didn't know that.
