nice video. please tell me what does the "Z-Probe" button do? When I hit this button the Z axis moves and I can't stop it till it reaches the end of the spindle and the alarm comes on. Thanks
Hello, I have 3018 pro, I use the candle program, but when I send it for cutting, I cannot start it from wherever I want, I originate it does not work, please help, thank you
I have ? I got an 3018 pro and what is the setting need to be on the user commands in the settings?I need some help so I can start using it thanks.Here is what I am asking when you go and click on service then go to setting click on user commands were it said button 1,2,3,4 what dose it need to be set on for it to work thanks.
my machine came totally reversed. I had to change one cable but up and down is still reversed, left and right as well and I think when I click the home button it is to the right instead left. the machine came this way. Cannot find any instruction or video to correct this. I think it is a programming Issue but how do I do that?
@@user-zt6kv2km4d i've found you have to install hard limits. Otherwise you have to set the machine to zero point, close candle and then re-open. It will be your zero
I have a 3018 from VEVOR, I have followed the steps up to 2min in but when I click the "idle" button nothing happens and the button doesn't seem to work. ???
Nice starter demo. When I hit send the toolpath disappears and it mills blind. The tool does move around the screen but it's not showing the material removal animation like yours. Am I missing anything?
I know this was posted some time back….I cannot get any version of Candle to function on a HP laptopthe grbl Laser, Control both work OK. Candle, new Acer Laptop, only apps are default with a new Win10. Candle will not function…checked the settings file, com3. The laptop USB in use showed com3. Jog buttons and spindle did not work! Changed settings to com4, opened Candle checked connect…com4 showed. The spindle could be started…but jog buttons..dead, no alarm or other indication showed, after connect unlocked the panel buttons changed from..”greyed” not connected to “normal higher contrast buttons. Tried four different USB cables.none helped…still cannot use the jog buttons. Any suggestions, help, advice would be appreciated. To tho who will ask….if grblControl is OK ..just use that! Two reasons. I want to know if its me, the two laptops etc. I like the interface look etc of Candle. I tried the forked 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. None worked!
4 but it depends on what your usb port is iirc. It's pretty easy to figure out, you just need to go to device manager and open the settings for the cnc machine and which port it is should be listed under one of those tabs
What is the difference between setting the z zero using manual adjustments and a piece of paper versus using the z probe? Are they doing the same thing or do I need to do both?
Newbie just got my machine... in Candle how do I know how deep the engraving will be? I'm doing a test run but don't know if my test material is thick enough because I don't know how deep the test engraving is...? Also, can you adjust the depth of engraving or any sizing in Candle or does all the sizing need to be set when the gcode is made in another app and can't be adjusted in candle?
Please tell me!!! I am not the only one who stayed for the entirety of the video Just For The Music, and was possibly trying to cut a rug to it, in the living room!! maybee,,sort of!!!
Whenever I run candle I always get errors. It will skip lines of g-code once in a while. I'm working on trying to figure out why this happens. Also even when I set it to inches the X,Y, and Z on the left side show mm.
My message center in candle is displaying: Serial port error 2: access denied Does anyone have any information relative to this? I’m new to cnc and I’m lost.
Thanks for your video. Sadly, it does not touch the problem I have: the machine is installed; connected. I have files in its folder CANDLE, except for the CH340-Driver.exe file. I can't find in the web anyplace to download the goddamned file at all!!! Can you help, please, before I eat this machine!!!! Thanks a million. 🤢
Nice video FoxAlien. My machine is engraving backwards, I adjusted $3 and now it is engraving backwards and upside down. I'll have to try changing $3 code again when no one is sleeping in the house. Is there something else that might be wrong with my machine?
Hi Stalters, please send your problems to support@foxalien.com. Our support team will follow your case. If you can take a short video to descripte, that will help us solve the problem faster.
initial instructions too fast and lack explanation. Too much time spent watching an operation. Not what I need to get started. I have struggled to get the motor and axis tests done. Now What?
I have had the machine for over a month. I have not had any luck with this candle program. I continue to get error messages. So far this thing is a piece of junk.
I was gonna bounce my machine off the concrete, but I think this video may have calmed me down. Thank you!
Felt that
Me too
how did it go?

I am having difficulty using the machine and easel. Is there any way I could give you a call or email for some help?
Is it same for Masuter 4040
Yes, the software is the same!
Where do I find the video "how to make gcode"

you need to adjust the size in the design software, such as the Easel.

My spindle doesn't go back to zero point after finishing the engraving. And idea on how to solve this ??
Thanks in advance :)
It was your gcode's problem. You need to set the gcode to back to the zero point.

@@foxalien_official I fixed the orientation by doing a $3=2 and now it engraves properly.
Nice instructions but crappy noise.
A real explanation would be better, and that bs showing the carving and the software doesn’t move through stages! 😢
initial instructions too fast and lack explanation. Too much time spent watching an operation. Not what I need to get started. I have struggled to get the motor and axis tests done. Now What?
Hope the machine is better than the fcuking Muzak.........

Fair presentation, but worst music ever!
Very bad video. Even out of focus! Bad music! Waist of time!
Video is bad no way to keep up
you could try the pause button!
