Mark, reach out to [email protected] Our staff will help get you up and running. Let them know you are new to the family. We got you.

Two 4x4 Shapeoko 5 Pro machines would fit.

Yes, our Carbide Motion control software handles the tool change process for you using our BitSetter.

The machine is not going to change position on its table. Your plan is a solid one. 👍🏻

Hey Robert, The newest build of Carbide Create is 777. You can download it here: carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/download/

Dan, We have a Sweepy as standard equipment for every one of our machines. It is both convenient and reliable. They are in use every day across the world.

Post your file and some photos in our forum if you want some help.

Hey Rob, Thanks for the positive feedback. Be sure and let us know what topics you're interested in for the next episode.

Thanks Pierce. We'll drop promotions for the next episode on the IG and FB groups. Hopefully those find you before we go live.

@@carbide3d 10-4 Sir, I’ll be on the look out. Thanks

Yes sir, MDF

@@carbide3d thank you, i just ordered a machine and will need to use this technique for the product I'm making. :) Hopefully I can figure it out. LOL

The trial is identical to the paid version. The only limit is the duration of the license.

We are planning on offering the gas strut separately once we get all our proverbial ducks in a row. I'd keep an eye out for an announcement later this summer. (-W)

@@carbide3d awesome. I'm definitely going to pick one up.

There is a toolkit included. Everything you need to build the machine is in the box.

As mentioned, the T-Handles are nice for exactly that part of the job. On a 4x4, that's a lot of bolts

@@carbide3d I just put in an order for a Shapeoko 5 2x4 yesterday so I am just trying to soak in as much info as I can before it arrives!

Welcome to the Family. Be sure and check out My.Carbide3D.com for more step by step videos and learning resources. Great things ahead!!

Same on Windows.

It's a 3D Roughing toolpath. Basically, in CC Pro I modeled a cylinder that is the final height of the coaster, and then I applied a roughing toolpath to that region. That produced a toolpath that went back and forth, stopping at the surface of the coaster. (-W)

Our current thinking is this: In the majority of cases, your inlay plug will be smaller than your finished piece, you're going to set the plug up in a different location relative to your origin., and you're going to want to define a boundary to cutout your plug as tight as possible for maximum material efficiency. Mirroring a design is one click, and the "extra work" around preparing that mirrored design to be cut out is something that would likely require human input at some stage in the process anyway. Also, there's significant value in a software working in a "what you see is what you get" mode, where the black box/"behind the curtain" operations are kept to a minimum. You see your mirrored design, it matches the simulation, your result is exactly what you expect. If long-term feedback says otherwise we'll consider it, but right now it does not appear to be a deal-breaker or undue burden for anyone.

​@@WinstonMakes I do see your point and I'm for sure advocating for keeping it as it is, as a manual option. Its great and you're right, its not a lot of work. Just to be clear the feature I'm talking about is that this plug toolpath would be linked to the vectors and auto update. Not a huge time saver if, like this video you nail everything the first time. But I'm living in the real world where typos and other types of mistakes happen and having to redo my plug every I make small updates to my design does add time.

@@WinstonMakes this reasoning makes sense to me as well. If you see feedback that people are forgetting to mirror it, maybe there's a compromise where enabling inlay plug mode in the Adv VCarve toolpath screen adds some red "DO NOT FORGET TO MIRROR YOUR PLUG" text 😅A full on modal confirmation screen would end up annoying folks that always remember to do it, but having something visibly change on screen would catch your attention if you're new.
