I can only agree with the other comments: This is an excellent introduction to the 3018 CNC, thank you for your work.
I've watched a lot of videos about the 3018, but this is by far the best.

I've watched several videos on these devices and this has been the most informative, I can now finally get get mine configured. Thank You

Great guide!

Quick note to say that, after setting the axis limits, the default z probe instruction should be changed to Z-30 instead of Z-50. Otherwise, z probe setting won’t work and you’ll have to reset the board.

[lynnhaste]

Thank you so much for this thorough video! You solved so many problems in our setup.

[Audimeisterable]

Thank you for your effort! Outstandingly explained in Detail. Realy appreciate it!

Great video on calibration and g-codes, etc. Looking forward to seeing how you plan to attach 'clamps' (or not) to the wasteboard for projects that you're planning.
