Glad i found your chanel, great content, i wanted to ask you what you think about the esp32 board for a project like this compared to the mach3?

Brilliant tutorial - I was wondering if you could create organic forms and then treat them like solid objects with other measured solid geomtry - you answered that perfectly with an example. Thank you.

The icon for "create a new body and make it active", is in active. With part selected in the Model window, the Create Part icon is still greyed out..

I came to say...exactly the same as just about everybody else said - awesome introduction to Freecad. I don't know where this video was hiding but you address key basic information that is pre-requisite to rally understand all other "introductory" videos on the topic. Thanks.

what do you do if the GrabCAD file has multiple components and you just want one of them

1:35 - you are not qualified to do what? put a wire in a hole and tighten a screw ? you said you have a master's degree in low voltage so your education is enough to connect two wires. but to connect two slightly thicker wires you need a separate certification for some reason. no wonder why 5$ monkey's job like changing a wall power socket today cost 300$.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Great review - thank you. Very new to lasers, in that I haven't decided which one to buy yet but after watching your video, the X Tool S1 has just moved to the top of my list.

بسیار عالی. اگر نحوه ی سیم کشی قسمت الکترونیکی آنرا به صورت شماتیک هم می اورید بهتر میشد.

I followed exactly this video, but the moment you click create body and make it active, the file disappears, and no matter how you scroll or zoom it is vanished..only if u undo previous steps it comes back..can anyone advise why please..

I realize this is an old video, but is there anyone out there who can help me figure out how to take an AI generated image to turn into a DND miniature 3-D print file for me to print at home for a friend as a gift?

GREAT Review... THANKS.!!!

I haven't read all the comments so I am sorry if someone else has already said it but it''s best to paint it lighter colors first and the darkest colors last

Would you know if i can get a replacement power box for my xtool s1 it tuned on once and quit

Fantastic tutorial!

so, how do you clean up the arcs & rounded components in the free version?

Thank you very concise and to the point thank you

Hi mate. I just want to say, THANKS for all the work you has put into this project, and I'am looking forward to watch your videos about making guitars on you CNC. I have been a Luthier for more than 40 years, and have for the last 10 years dreamed about making a CNC that i can carve some nice body's, neck's and fretdoards with wilde inlays. And now i might will be able to do so, thanks to your crazy amount of work. Thanks again mate and merry christmas 🙂

In part 2 of this series you mention parametric design. What if take a existing STL file and want to through all these steps and parameterize this model? Is it possible? Useful?

great video. can you show us how to change dimensions of the original....make it longer or wider or higher ?

Just wanted to say a big thanks for putting this together. I have the exact same setup as you have here but for some reason my Nema 23 was only running slowly. Then I noticed that you mentioned in a comment about the xml file for the Mach3 config. I swapped it over for your version and it's now running at a reasonable speed.

Hi mate. Great video and great CNC build. I wonder, how slow can you run your 2.2Kw spindle and cut metal's without the spindle heats up ?

Check for "AluPower" 3 flutes end mill from YG. Their flutes are miroir polished and you need a little or even no coolant at all. 1500-2500 of surface feet(sf) is correct. To preventing clogging, a small spray of W40 from time to time is a good solution specially when you machine soft aluminum (soft 1000-3000 series) or copper which can be a pain in the a@@. Hope it will help.👍🇨🇦😊

How does it hold up in sand?

I didn't have any luck... I have the free version... when I select a triangle on a flat surface I get an error "Delete Face 1" "Compute failed"

My dude, thank you. You saved days of my life.

I was leaning heavily towards the Xtool until I learned that it was cloud dependent. Forget, the privacy issues, forget the fact that your work may be sold to others en masse in China. Time and again people have had expensive could based devices go dark when (1) the manufacturer went out of business, (2) the manufacturer dropped support for their model, (3) the manufacturer suddenly imposed substantial recurring fees, or (4) The product changed hands between companies and the new owner did (1), (2), or (3). Even big companies, including Amazon and Google have done this, leaving customers with thousand dollar paperweights. So, while I like the Xtool, I will buy the Creality. Cloud dependency is a deal killer. It should be that way for everyone so that this money grabbing privacy invading gimmick will quietly fade away.

What an excellent project - the amount of work and detail that you have included in this CNC is awesome - about as clear as building one of these machines is going to get! Way to go with giving them away, not sure I get it but that is very generous and I am sure many folks will appreciate the amazing work that you have done. I am currently building one myself and had already started before I saw this video. However my design is virtually the same, just in a smaller scale. I guess there are not a ton of different ways to do this, but I have seen several and some that do not look that good. For example, one important thing that varies is the type of linear motion systems that are used. In your case I do believe that you have picked (from a design standpoint ) the very robust linear rails and carriages. Other machines use less robust choices like the round rail systems (not bad but not nearly as good) or cam rollers which are not accurate or strong at all. Last thing is about the control of the CNC. Why did you choose Mach 3 for your machine? I am only asking as the software choices are the hardest part of the machine for me to understand. Reading up here in the USA I have narrowed down my CNC software to either be LinuxNC or FluidNC. The nice thing about both of these is that they are fully open source and from what I can tell are both very capable platforms. Again, awesome work, glad that I found your channel. Cheers

Finaly a clear explanation! Sometimes it a bit searching because eiI work on a newer version, but that doesn't matter! I really like the way you explaining things!

Thanks!

lame subscription beggar

I am not into all these electronic and technical things and often are too hard for me to understand,but this was explained so straightforward! Thankyou so much

Tried this but got message in the sketcher that its Under-Constrained.

what about calibrations? Dp we need to do them again after the Firmaware upgrade?

This is so great for a total beginner in cad and 3d

In FreeCAD 1.0, "refine shape" has moved to "Part->Create a copy->Refine shape"

Thank you so much, you’re an excellent teacher!

With just the first 5 courses I am already beginning to create many designs and getting involve with the software. Love your approach and method compared to other courses I have watched. Much faster learning just by watching your tutorials.... GREAT way to get started..Thanks.!!

I'm looking to purchase this system for my wife but torn between the 40w and 20w options. What is your recommendation. Xtool currently has a bundle for the 40w that includes the 2w IR laser for small detailed engraving.

What is the black stuff?

What is the material of the black band?

Can you create an object and rotate that object around via the polar pattern option??

Which program do you use?

Excellent tutorial, perfect pacing and clear explanations.

question I just started playing with editing files. what I am trying to do Is add two circles for magnets on my object that I am 3d printing is their a way to add the slots for the roung magnets to a specific depth?

great work mate i love your beard !

Hi, great video, thank you! Wondering if there is a method to roll the relief into a tube/cylinder?

Love the basics. Very concise. Every other tuturial seems to be just speeding along. I now have a clearer picture of how the achitecture of freecad works...

Nice, What are the basic dimensions of the boards? I plan to make one too
