15 Epic Sources for CNC Projects and Models

[@robertbankhead8661]

Excellent, I've seen some of these sites but thank you for the details and background. Definitely a preferred view for CNC'ers.

[@cyberreefguru]

Thanks Robert! Feel free to pump up the volume on the socials :)

[@phatroguedragon]

Excellent video. This information helps jumpstart beginners and catapult seasoned users of CNC machines. Keep up the good work.

[@cyberreefguru]

Thanks Harold - thank for watching too!

[@JenniferJ67]

Is that you, Pez? I was flipping through KZbin and this video popped up. I'm like....wait, is that who I think it is? 😊

[@cyberreefguru]

Yep :)

[@jessebridges4901]

Tesselation is the tiling of a surface in geometric shapes. Complex forms are interpreted by modeling software as a combination of geometric shapes and saved as Standard Tesselation Language, or STL.

Thanks Jesse!

Great video. TNX!

[@cyberreefguru]

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@uther10]

Thanks for all the websites and links!

Can you use inventables and cut rocket with vectric software? What about provencut?

[@cyberreefguru]

Hello Vic - if you can get a vector out of the software, then you can use it with Vectric. By that mark, you can export SVGs from both Easel and CarbideCreate so they should work, but Provencut does not have project files so there is nothing to use there. Thanks for watching!

The whiteside spillboard bit & Cutech Jointer links are not working. 😞

[@cyberreefguru]

Thanks for letting me know - I will get them fixed right away.

[@robertbetts101]

woa!! MOST HELPFUL!! thanks

[@cyberreefguru]

Thanks for watching Robert!

[@JohnColgan.]

ive not reached bloopers yet, but Inventables makes X-Carve, Carbide 3D makes Shapeoko

[@cyberreefguru]

Yep. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to re-film something when you see the error while editing. Thanks for the catch! -Tom

[@JohnColgan.]

@@cyberreefguru more confusing that they stemmed from same parent company & went different ways !

[@mike_s_media]

Provencut test drive only seems to cover metals and no woods.

[@cyberreefguru]

When I last looked, there were a few woods, but not many. Same for hobby-level machines. I will check again though. Thanks for watching!

Where is the down there in the description.?

[@cyberreefguru]

Hi Janet - it depends on which platform. Using the browser, you should see "SHOW MORE" under the title; on mobile you should see a little arrow that allows you to expand the description. Thanks for watching!

[@rahimbashiri7009]

thank you. great job. I want to sell 3d files for CNC users. what kind of files do a CNC entrepreneur needs?

[@cyberreefguru]

Hello Rahim - it depends what you want to offer. Any 3D model needs something like an STL or STEP or IGES. You can offer those, or you can step it up and offer completed tool paths for the models. Perhaps preconfigured files for the popular CAM software packages. Thanks for watching!

[@rahimbashiri7009]

@@cyberreefguru thank you for your kind answer. I make reliefs. do you want to see them?

[@wolframherzog636]

Thingivers maybe the largest stl site, but it is soo unreliable and has so many technical problems… 😐

[@cyberreefguru]

It certainly has had its fair share of challenges recently, no doubt. Prusa's new website seems to offer a lot of promise and further lower the bar for 3d printing. We need something like that for CNC :)
