Starting with CARVECO Maker

[@Budster48309]

I've created a couple of files and cut them with success (mostly). The problem I'm having is that I created some 3/4" width vectors to cut channels for some T-track. I used a 1/4" end mill to cut them 3/8" deep. After I created them, I converted the bitmap to a vector and used Flood Fill Vector. After creating the tool path and saving it, I cut the file. The width and depth were correct, but it only cut the outer edges and left the center untouched. I thought if you used flood fill, the tool would remove all of the material, but it didn't. I don't even know what to call it so I can search for an answer. How would I accomplish this?

Use an area clearance strategy tool path

[@Budster48309]

@@rogerwebb9600 Yep, I discovered the area-clearing toolpath a little while after posting this. Thanks!

One of the best tutorials I have watched. Ordered my Gen 3020 a few days ago, got my Carveco subscription and ready to go when my machine arrives. Thanks for such a great beginner video.

[@Chris-vc1dh]

Wow, love the way you explain, I have some questions

[@Carpenters_Canvas]

thank you for this i just ordered a onefinity!!!need to learn this

[@rogerwebb9600]

You're so welcome!

I found your tutorial very very helpful. I like the way in which you describe each step in a slow and deliberate way which makes it so much easier for a beginner to follow along. I had your tutorial on one laptop and Carveco Maker on another and followed along with you through the whole process of making a project. After designing the project I would delete it and start over again which I did many time until I was able to go from start to finish without watching. I have purchased a Genmitsu 4040 Pro which came with Candle. The problem that I am having is in the saving section, do you have a video dealing in detail the steps in the saving of a project? Thank you again for the great videos!! Lamar

[@darrensheppard3247]

Information put across extremely well . Great !

[@rogerwebb9600]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ctconn35]

Thank you!! Just got a CNC 3020 pro and feel very intimidated by it. Will keep up with your videos

[@rogerwebb9600]

You can do it!

[@PCFM100]

Roger...I am having big problems with Vector Doctor on my Carveco Maker Cant seem to get rid of the green circles and the mass of green circles which show up on a vector Also how do you delete a red circle which looks like there are two leters joined together ....

[@Brettly01]

Hi What is the stepover and step down for.?

[@706Dano]

I believe step over is how much the bit overlaps the previous cut from side to side. Step down is how far the bit moves down after it completes a pass.

[@tntimberworks]

Yes, yes and yes!! Thank you for this and please make more on CMaker!

[@rogerwebb9600]

More to come!

[@Chris-vc1dh]

when I set chacges in toolpath it doesn't remember, any idea?

[@JohnWaclawski]

Great video! Love this style of instruction. Thank you! I do have a question though. I was following along, verbatim, and when I clicked on "Calculate Now" I get the following error: "Cannot calculate for the following reasons: Safe Z is an absolute value and must be greater then the thickness of the material if the origin is on the bottom. Home Z is lower than material surface Safe Z is lower than Start Z" I was able to bypass this by making the "Safe Z" 16 but I'm not sure of the outcome of this. How can I fix this to match your tutorial? Thanks again!!
