I have to be honest, that dudes voice alone convinced me to buy one.

[@kfwoeltje]

Agree - great customer service. I have an original Nomad from their Kickstarter - when it had an issue I still got excellent support. My next CNC will definitely be a Carbide 3D.

[@MicroFourThirdsCorner]

Really happy with my 5 Pro 4x4 + VFD.

[@carbide3d]

The VFD is definitely the way to go.

[@LaserGarage]

I love my Shapeoko 5 Pro. Thanks C3d!

[@wehavefunofficial]

Sigh.. Might have to build one to work towards my dream of watercooled heatsinks for ALL the things. 🧐

[@travisg1759]

I love my 4x4 5 Pro.

[@CaseyJScalf]

Great job everyone

[@bcole2353]

Can this CNC machine accommodate a 4th axis?

[@carbide3d]

At this time we do not offer a 4th axis.

[@johnconklin9039]

Really wish that I would have bought a Shapeoko instead of an X-carve. : (

[@ericpedersen2760]

I've been on the fence about getting an x-carve and upgrading from my carve King CNC. What downsides have you experienced?

[@carbide3d]

It's fundamentally a derivative of the Shapeoko 2, a much lighter-duty machine.

[@ericpedersen2760]

Not vibing the Ginsu Knife sales guy thing...I could be wrong, but I think this crowd responds well to actual info not slicky-slick sales guy schtick...maybe it's just me.

[@JohnColgan.]

Nice variety of sizes. How much is 2x2 & 4x4?

[@carbide3d]

Hey John, you can check out all sizes here: shop.carbide3d.com/products/shapeoko5?variant=40249287671869

[@CarveLife]

I have a Pro XXL. What would be the benefits to upgrade?

[@carbide3d]

The Pro XXL is a terrific machine. Especially when equipped with the VFD Spindle, you have a ton of capability. Aluminum and Brass are no problem at all. For the features and benefits, this is what our CEO put together when we launched Shapeoko 5. It stands true today: carbide3d.com/blog/introducing-shapeoko-5-pro/ What you have is a terrific machine. Lots of times "need" and / or "want" come into play when deciding on an upgrade. The VFD: shop.carbide3d.com/collections/accessories/products/vfd-spindle-kit

[@CarveLife]

@@carbide3d Do you feel like the belts hurt my accuracy when doing fine detailed 3D?

[@wadetomczyk8043]

Hasn't this been out awhile?

[@billcarriveau]

This is my exact thought, and if it's a 5 pro vs 5, what's differant. I didnt find much info at all highlighting a differance.

[@krtwood]

@@billcarriveau I'm sure there are more videos coming that will get to the details but the obvious main difference is that the 4 and old Pro both still use belts on the x and y axis while the 5 pro has ball screws everywhere. Pretty aggressive price for a machine with ball screws.

[@billcarriveau]

@@krtwood the point being the 5 pro has been out for some time but they just dropped a video about it again , leading people to belive its brand new again...

[@horrienixon6440]

Do you support 220v

[@carbide3d]

The Shapeoko 5 runs on either voltage. The full specs can be found here: carbide3d.com/shapeoko/shapeoko5pro-specs/

What type of file do i need for the post.. i already have a cad/cam software..txt. nc. Tap. Etc ??? Thanks

[@carbide3d]

.nc will work with Carbide Motion. Several CAD/CAM programs have a post processor for Shapeoko

[@shift_nation4785]

@@carbide3d i use one cnc cad/cam software and i have about 50 post i can use i need to see if i have the shapeoko post or if i can just use nc. File...i use my software to mill on haas mills.. 3d tool paths , high speed milling etc..i will buy the shapeoko 5 if i can use my one cnc software

[@shift_nation4785]

I am more concern if the shapeoko can handle 3d tools paths etc.. seems like it can. Thanks for help

[@frankbarlow3154]

What's the easiest way to get the 4x4 to ontario canada?

[@carbide3d]

Hi Frank, RobotShop in Canada is your best source for Shapeoko 5. Cleanest way to deal with the import and associated fees. They don't yet have stock for their website, but you can contact them and they are able to get you a machine. When you need smaller items, like endmills, those will be sent directly to you. We look forward to having you in the Carbide 3d Family.

[@frankbarlow3154]

@carbide3d I have an open builds 1500 x 1500 but it's never been very accurate no matter what I do.

[@reedgraff2465]

Why wouldn't I just buy an MR1? From Langmuir

[@carbide3d]

Reed, You should look at the entire cost and time involved in getting that machine setup. Be sure and do all the math before making the choice that is right for you. Shapeoko is a 100% solution / Quick assembly and an established machine platform with a full ecosystem of support. We'd love to have you in the Carbide 3D Family.

[@user_16309]

@@carbide3dI’m worried about QA. I gather there are issues with controllers, missing, failing parts. I’m sharing because I’d rather buy from you. I’m looking for a machine which will last many, many years for hobby now and selling stuff later. Please help me overcome these concerns. Thanks.
