NEW CNC MACHINE! (Nomad 3 Unboxing)

[@jrychter7]

Great to see a recent Nomad 3 video. I've been wondering about the noises my machine makes - especially the rattling sound from the X axis moves. From what I can hear, your Nomad also makes a rattling noise with X moves, which is somewhat comforting, I guess. My Z axis also makes a similar noise when moving down (but never when moving up).

Great video. I'm a user and fan of Carbide 3D products. I've never dealt with a company that is more dedicated to their customers success. No matter what product your using their customer service is the best. They also have a fantastic community that can will help others in any way possible. Good luck with your Nomad 3!!

Well said!

Does the Nomad 3 work with a Macbook pro? Or do you have to have a windows based computer to run it?

[@Voiceguitar]

No way!... Alex! Its Voice. Shopping CNCs and came across this video. Hope all is well!

[@darrelsomoza2927]

Did you ever get this working?

[@raghulnambiraja8117]

Can this machine be used to Jewellery wax designs?

[@nerdCopter]

+1👍 💪 Pat and Brian sent me (well, not true, just clicked your butter-what discord link, lmao)

Welcome!

Alex is a good dude, nerdCopter! He's worth watching, too! :)

@@courcreate could you tell me the thickness of the aluminium frame pls? So the thickness of the plates, the linearguides are attached to. Would be awesome.

[@arbjful]

How does this compare with a Bantam Tools CNC mill?

[@imbadatthisgame1681]

This is 100. Times better

[@stevec5000]

So that machine came out 3 years ago and these guys are just now getting one? Why not get a more up to date model?

[@courcreate]

This is the latest model of the nomad. I'm confused about your question.

[@casade2831]

Hi! Can this machine be used to mill dental models?

[@courcreate]

It is capable of extreme detail. If operated with enough skill I would say so. Although 3d msla printing may be a more cost effective solution

[@casade2831]

@@courcreate Thank you. I used the denture example to describe the geometry of the parts I am interested in milling. I do not necessarily want to mill dentures, rather, organic-like parts. As you said, could this machine accomplish such geometries if done properly?

[@Toyhax]

I ordered two, and I won't even open the second one. I am having so many problems, including customer service. Not sure what happened to this company, but wow... Really went downhill.

[@courcreate]

What kind of issues?

[@Toyhax]

@@courcreate With the machine? Backlash and a bad linear rail that caused skipping and broken bits. Also severe run-out because the spindle bearings are no longer press fit like the 883. With service: 10+ days between replies and very little understanding of the mechanics of the machine. When you do get a reply, it's always "send me a video so I can show an engineer". I swear I used to be able to call, get a human being and an immediate solution.

Wow those are some cheap lead screws.
