3D carving with a CNC - Shapeoko 5 Pro / VCarve Pro

Using a design that was included with VCarve Pro to create a Christmas decoration.

For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers as well as CNC project files.

cool tip with that tape, you can get one off, then use that one to pull the rest off. it sticks to itself really good and makes it easier to peel up all the tape put down. Found out by accident and been using it since. just TIP

Hey …. To start I watch your video’s all the time …. Love learning even tho I don’t own a laser or cvc … (old guy nothing better to do ) so anyways I was wondering what program you use to get the gcode to the machine … I like the shapeoko but I like Vcarve ..but I know you have to use another program for the gcode ? Thanks your doing a great job!

I have a file I am trying to send from VCarve Pro to Shapeoko 5 pro and Use bitzero v2 to set the xyz in left lower corner and mine then goes to the bit setter to zero then is ready for file, but when I load file and indicate I have set bit, it goes a few inches from the right side of the cnc and tries to start. Not to the area where I did the bit zero. Is there something I need to check., I have it set for lower left corner in vcarve, but can't figure if it is something else missing. I am using a gadget for the chamfer tool path. Any ideas. Thanks for the video, I haven't successfully carved from vcarve yet. trying to move from carbide create to vcarve for the extra options.

Hey, thanks for the video. I did not realize you have a Cnc. Do you know which Cnc machines work with Mac?

[crashgtr]

Hi, I was wondering if you would share when you would do Cnc vs laser cut

[LutzCnC]

You can just hit create vector boundary instead of tracing.

Just moved from Carveco to VCarve. Why is it my Rough Pass Tool section looks nothing like yours.
