This is a amazing video Jason.

[@user-nt2ji6sd1n]

You have the best and most informative channel on KZbin for Carveco Maker. I have gotten more out of your channel than all of the rest.

[@Timberfalls]

Thank you for the super positive feedback on the channel. I really appreciate it and glad these are helping. Let me know if there is something you would like for me to cover more.

[@DebHeadworth]

Wow!!! You’re an excellent teacher! Thank you for helping us through this tough learning curve!!👏👏👏

[@Timberfalls]

Thank you. I appreciate the kind feedback. I am glad that helped. Please feel free to message me if there is something you would like to see me cover more

[@davidlock4140]

I have been using Carveco for a week or so hand found it hard work working my way around this new to me software. After just your intro video things just seem to be so much clearer. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for your efforts.

[@Timberfalls]

It's great to hear that you found my intro video helpful in understanding how to use Carveco! I'm glad that I was able to provide some clarity for you and I appreciate your feedback. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can help you with in regards to using the software.

[@patrickgeoghegan5834]

Excellent video J thanks for uploading answered so many questions for me, so much info in one video brilliant 👏

[@Timberfalls]

Appreciate the support. Hope you find the other ones just as helpful. Let me know if you would like to see something covered more.

[@scorpianspirit5124]

This was a very helpful video ! I have just got my machine and am completely new to cnc, but I found your video was well done and concise. I will follow up with your other videos and you have a new sub ! Cheers from Utah. ;-) BTW, my machine is the Genmitsu Prover xl 6050. I am excited to get started !

[@Timberfalls]

Thank you for those kind words. I appreciate the sub and support. Congrats on your new machine. You should check out some of the facebook groups for Genmitsu and carveco. Very helpful group in both places.

[@markmyers9855]

Thank you so much u Rock I am going to learn now...

[@Timberfalls]

I appreciate the feedback on these and excited that it is helping. Thank you for watching.

[@Checkitfirst]

"DUDE"!! Your video has help me so much. I cant for the life of me figure this program out. Im new to cnc and need lots of help with this program. Keep them coming

[@Timberfalls]

Thank you. It does get easier and it will be no time before you get the hang of it. The software is pretty amazing. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

[@jimpalmer1944]

My first of your guide to Maker. Rapid fire, but thorough, I have a machine on order and due in late July. It comes with one year of Maker, I hope to be able to get started with the software with your help. Most likely, I will watch each in the series and then return to the beginning, repeating to get more familiar with the program. I have watched several of the vendor videos, but he Brit is difficult to understand.

[@Timberfalls]

Thanks Jim I appreciate the feed back. I do go pretty quick through that stuff but try to cover the important stuff. I take it you are getting the Onefinity a great machine... I own one as well. Let me know if there is something you come across that you would like me to cover more.

[@josephlanglois8073]

I learned a lot in 28 min. where are the rest of the videos.

[@Timberfalls]

Just posted the next video in the series. I should have parts 3 and 4 done in the next week or so. Thanks for watching.

[@Bart_Depestele]

Thank you Jason, nice tuto. Maybe try to normalize the volume, there are brutal differences between segments :O

[@Timberfalls]

Thank you for the positive feedback. I will take a look and see if I can normalize that one. I do try and keep them mixed close in volume but miss it sometimes.

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

This link was highly recommended, question can you print out the Shortcut keys? Love this video, watched it probably 3 times already. Since I'm an old guy retention is questionable these days, lol. really helpful so far, gonna binge watch.

[@Timberfalls]

Not sure if you are a member of the Carveco facebook users group but there is a printed version of the shortcut keys in the files section in the group. Hope it helps.

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

@@Timberfalls yes I am, never thought of looking there, thank you

[@Timberfalls]

@@Lorddarthvader1701 Most welcome. Glad that helped.

[@jimhuitt9854]

I noticed you have two tabs at the upper left corner of your screen, one for 2d and 3d. I don't have these on my screen. How can i get them?

[@Timberfalls]

Hmm that is something that should be there by default. Try going to the window tab at the top and select reset workspace. It will make you reboot the software and reset the layout. If you still do not get these tabs then you will probably want to contact carveco support.

[@jimhuitt9854]

@@Timberfalls the reset workspace didn't work but I started messing around and I got those tabs by pressing the tabbed views option. So everything's ok now. Thank you for getting me in the correct area.

[@raytucker8060]

how do i get my saved file from my computer to my machine

[@Timberfalls]

That would depend on the machine. When you make your toolpath you would pick which post processor your machine uses and then save the file as the gcode for that machine. Then take the gcode to your machine for cutting. The fourth and final video should go over this more and should be out soon.

[@ctconn35]

Ok so went under relief library and vector , don’t have anything under the tab. I don’t know if I didn’t do something to when I received this program. Help

[@Timberfalls]

Both of those libraries have to be downloaded from the carveco website. When you open that tab there should be button at the bottom of where the libraries appear with the link to download them.

[@ctconn35]

I did go under there but it only had one.

[@ctconn35]

Ok never mind I got it thank you so much

[@Timberfalls]

@@ctconn35 Awesome glad that helped!

[@JustinTyme1966]

Can we resize our toolbars?

[@Timberfalls]

In the options is an option that locks the toolbars if you uncheck this it will allow you to make changes to the toolbars and customize them the way you want. Check out my Hacks video on custom toolbars to see how to do it.

[@JustinTyme1966]

@@Timberfalls Its worked thank you very much...subscribed :)

[@Timberfalls]

@@JustinTyme1966 I appreciate the support. Let me know if there is something you would like to see covered in one of upcoming videos. I am always looking for content ideas and I try to help were I can.

[@Carpenters_Canvas]

man, you started out great, one thing i think we need is basic instructions, you start on one thing then you go into all of the settings you already went over, not hating, god knows i need all the help i can get but its so confusing when you say your going to do something and you explain everything again, then you go off on tangents about this and that, just be basic lol

[@Timberfalls]

Thanks for the great feed back. What part are your referencing about repeating something ? It is a lot of info to cove and I often go into a tangent as that detail will be something that is asked by someone later. I help a lot of guys in the Carveco facebook group and try to throw some of those things that come up in my videos from time to time. Sorry if it is hard to follow. I am working on making these go smoother in editing.

[@Carpenters_Canvas]

@@Timberfalls I really appreciate it, I'm sorry if I offended you, I'm really frustrated with carvco, getting to understand it and all, I am doing good with fusion360, x-50 woodworker is just about ready to go lol, if you ever saw that guy James, who also does carvco tutorials, his style is really simple for the new people, maybe its just me man, don't let it get you off your square. I truly didn't mean any insult, just a slow down a bit, lol, have in fact watched a lot of your vids and they have helped. Like I said it could be just me not understanding the terms, so, keep going brother. I do have a bad habit of wanting to know everything right now lol, im working on it, and willo have to continue as im sure there will be a lot of mistakes haha loved the bird dish, I'm sure your wife is happy.

[@Timberfalls]

@@Carpenters_Canvas I did not mean to sound offended I truly appreciate the feedback. Its rare anyone ever says anything about that so I like to hear the good and the bad. Those videos started out twice as long and I cut them to move really fast. I am slowly making shorts or all the parts of my videos that should be easier to digest with easier messages tor each part. If your not a part of the facebook carveco users group I would highly suggest joining. I am one of the admins there and you can pm me with any questions you might have. I would be happy to help you get going. Carveco is one of the best CAD programs for our industry and I think you will really like it once you get some of the nuances figured out.
