Design and Program This 3D US Navy Seal With Carbide Create Pro

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I posted a few of the files I use on my flags on my website. They’re already in svg format. I’ll keep adding more, so be sure to check back from time to time. You can see them at: fullsteamdesigns.com/maker-resources/

Finally decided to go Pro and was totally lost. Thank you for a "Carbide Create 3d for Dummies" tutorial. I was totally lost with layers and components; you helped a great deal. Regards, M

This is one of the best videos I have found with a step-by-step process for this beginner in the CNC world! Much appreciated for your time in walking through everything!

Everyone saves G code but if you carbide create, open Carbide Motion (put it in the open file/ start job window) first then re-open carbide create, it has the option above save gcode to send job straight to CM. Then you can send them one at a time, make changes and send again. It has saved me lots of time and I can make small changes and sneak up on things better.

Great video, not many Carbide Create 3D carve videos & yours definitely shows best step by step instruction. I've learned lots from your videos, thank you

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks John.

[@roygault3325]

Thanks for taking the time to show us this.

[@pixelsmaster5452]

With this awesome detailed video tutorial I am ready ( and excited ) to jump in the deep end. But, first I have to go and watch your video on that collar ring trick. Thank you for doing these videos

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you. Good luck!

[@davidyoung4312]

Thanks for sharing Chris. Your videos have been very helpful as I am just starting out. I hope to have my Shapeoko up and running today.

[@triggerwizard]

I really appreciate this video. Thank you

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you 🙏

[@billm2158]

Great video Chris, at just the right pace.

[@MNKid83]

Thanks, your video helped me a lot on my first project.

[@caseyballentine3205]

Awesome work Chris👊 I didn't know Carbide Create Pro was out yet. That's exciting!

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

They haven’t released all of the features yet. This is more of a beta version.

[@caseyballentine3205]

@@ChrisPowellFSD looks like beta is going well. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for when it's finished. I have plenty to learn with regular CC🤣

[@englishcountryliving448]

Thanks Chris. Great video and really useful to the newbie over the pond here.

[@MyersWoodshop]

great work chris! I need to do some videos of the 3d model on my channel too!

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks! I’d love it if you did that. I need to learn more about this stuff.

[@CraigLafferty]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Very informative!

[@stonecitywoodworks]

Awesome video Chris, thanks for the tips! I can't wait to try them out

[@ClintonCaraway]

Thank you for making this video. More CC-Pro videos would be awesome. You need to start a Patreon. I'd be glad to donate.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I’ll have more coming. Thanks!

[@michaelbreaux9164]

Awesome. Would like to see it after you have painted it.

[@joelosurdo4742]

Thanks!

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you 🙏

[@Olivsam]

Great video thank you very helpful

[@nathanduval7202]

Great Video! I know this video is a few years old, I have a question: When you ran the second finish pass at the 45 degree angle, you weren't really removing any wood, what did you bump the speed up to in Carbide Motion? I'm guessing 300% or more??

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

Awesome job! I’m a 20 year Navy vet so that was very to see. Wife bought me the carbide pro for my b-day so I’m just getting familiar with it. So when making multiple tool paths that require a bit change, do you have to save the g code separately? Yesterday I attempted to make some coasters (90 deg) and then a final cutout w a different bit. The machine stopped and wouldn’t let me change bits.

[@apparelillustrated6298]

how do you model that taper balln ose in carbide sir?.. Love the Work!

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks. It should already be a tool listed in the database.

[@mysticvalleywoodworks2777]

What bits would you recommend? I haven't done a 3D carve yet. I want too, I'm not sure what bits I need

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I like to rough with a regular 1/4” endmil and then use a small tapered ball to clean it up. This one is 1/16th inch and does a great job of getting the small details. amzn.to/3u18X1P

[@mysticvalleywoodworks2777]

@@ChrisPowellFSD cool beans thanks for the help

[@andrewdolha4421]

Very helpful, learned a lot! Thanks!

[@donniehughes7054]

Another question, can you use X-carve software to make codes for Carbide motion?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Yea you should be able to. I haven’t done it myself, but have heard people say they use it.

[@marksapier2603]

Chris, have you done any fine engraving with 30 degree engraving bits or smaller? Trying to do a VA logo with lots of detail and it is very tricky. Anybody, feel free to chime in on this. Thanks

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I usually use a 60 degree. The key to getting good details is having a perfectly flat and level wasteboard and material.

[@randogame4438]

I'm a little confused about why you did the first square around the piece of stock since you didn't use it for any carving work and the system already knew your stock thickness was .70? Can it not set the depth of the 3d carve without doing that first? Also, the link for the 2nd eagle just goes to US Navy twitter feed, not emblems.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

It’s just for the rendering. That was the representation of the piece of stock I was using. Just search ok google images for Navy logo svg and you should find a bunch of options.

[@tommypers7973]

Hey Chris exxelent explanations question once you add you save but where or I can wait and save the code only and then save as file

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Yea you can just save the g code by clicking the export g code button on the toolpath page, but I don’t recommend it. CC is pretty buggy, especially when doing 3d. It’s best to save designs regularly.

[@tommypers7973]

@@ChrisPowellFSD thank you very much But when you Klick save does it saves this where ? Or it’s just to protect your design Incase it freezes etc ?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

It saves it to whatever folder you have selected. I’m on a Mac and mine goes to downloads.

[@engravedgrainbyjcjasoncole3262]

I went through thus like 3 times now, but for the roughing it is coming up as 1.5 hrs. What to do?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Try adjusting your feed rates and depth of cut per pass.

[@MrDavidmayer]

The links do not work. Please provide us working links.

[@paulriley5940]

Could i create my 3d design save it without setting up the tool path then import into easel them finish tool path in there? I just have a little hobby 3018 pro that im playing around with before i pull the trigger on a shapeoko.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I don’t think so. Maybe you could use cncjs to control the machine.

[@paulriley5940]

@@ChrisPowellFSD i guess one way to find out is i will try it.

[@paulriley5940]

Carbide create pro lets me export GRBL gcode and it will work on my 3018. Didnt try to import in easel just used carbide.

Thumbs UP for the work, thumbs DOWN for Fallout 76
