The software I would learn is VCarve desktop. You will be able to design all of your projects and you will be able to adjust and alter 3D projects. You cannot creat 3D without Aspire which is expensive. You will also need a sender to send the gcode to the CNC machine. I use the Openbuilds controller which is free. I would also suggest to get Inkscape (also free). You will be able to easily improve files and convert images to svg files.

Hi paw paw....has your xcarve ever lst steps on y axis....mine does all the time...its aggravating..belts tight...wheels tight...
@PawPawsWorkShop5 жыл бұрын
I've only lost steps twice in two years and both times it was my fault. Be careful that your belts and wheels are too tight.

Ok thanks...mine has happened a lot...since day 1...but now its so bad i cant do any jobs...could also be wiring or driver or bad motor...its alwaysnthe right y motor that makes weird noises when it loses steps

Im going to try and lossen belts a bit....they dont have to be too tight but should not be loose....my 3d printers have been loose for a while and never skips...and we all know the motors on xcarve are strong enough but the drivers are cheap and underpowered especially 1 underpowered driver xontrolling 2 motors at one time.....many xcarve issues are design flaws and not user issues

There has been many discussions on belt tension on the forum and the general thought is that they should be about 4.5 lbs when measured from the center and pulled up 1 inch. For me, my belts are 3.5 lbs and I have never had a problem. Again, it like everything else, what works for my machine may not work for yours.

It is possible. You have to go through your machine one step at a time and eliminate each potential problem until you find the problem. Good luck, I know it can be very frustrating trying to find the reason.

how do you do a 2 stage carve from Vcarve to easel?
@PawPawsWorkShop5 жыл бұрын
Chris Scheele . In Vcarve you would setup tool paths for the two bits. Create the gcode and send to easel. Open each gcode file in a separate work piece. Then carve each work piece with its correct bit. Hope this helps you

Hi paw paw....in my opinion its bad for the xcarve to store it vertically....you are putting irregular force on components not designed that way....success or not.....its a bad idea....it would most certainly twist and bend components...and go out of square at a minimum .....thanks

I agree with you. I would never do it with my XCarve. I can only say that some do it and have had success. Keep in mind I do not have any first hand knowledge. I can only say what these people say online and on the various forums.
