I DISAGREE WITH ONE THING!!! The biggest mistake I made when starting out was investing almost two years into learning to use Carbide Create completely. 1st-STL is the industry standard file format for models. For some reason C3D didn't design Carbide Create to be compatible with the STL file format. 2nd - Wasting two years getting use to using Carbide Create so like Andy says in the video.... you can get another software down the road was like starting out a day one!! The #1 absolutely biggest most important piece of advice I can give you is start off with a software you can grow into instead of out of. You don't want to get years down the road a a customer ask for a certain product and you have no way to design it or to import files to make it. 🤔
I think I spent about a week using Carbide Create Pro before just buying V-Carve Pro. Having been an avid Fusion360 user for years I found that using CCP was so woefully underpowered and feature stripped I couldn't deal with it.
Completely agree with using fusion 360- which is still free for the hobbyist. . love the shapeoko - have done a number of upgrades - but especially if you are genuinely going 3D designs - u need fusion or another alternative.
I think it would be more worth it to do retail yourself and just under their cost a bit. It wouldnt be hard if you're cheaper and have great photos. People aren't loyal to brands on etsy. Etsy Is the brand. They just find a product they want for the right price from a well rated seller.
Hello.i live in italy. I see all of your video.now i decided to bye a cnc mescine. But i have no experience. So please can you helf to by a small cnc mescine. Thank you
My problem that I’m facing. Is that no one can help me to operate my shapeoko xxl. I bought it about 3 months ago. I’m about to sell it. I need help I even offered to pay. For the teaching. Very Disappointed.
@@rpnp2 software. My shapeoko is set. Ready to make stuff but. When I want to make a American flag. I don’t know how to do it. Not only that. I even bought the bits set from Amana. I need help. Thank you in advance
I can tell you that I buy walnut slabs directly from small local mills around me and it is significantly cheaper to buy from them. I only pay between 7-9 bf for walnut. And because I spend so much money with them they often cut me deals. So it’s very possible.
That's what I was thinking. Even if you can get walnut at 7-9$ a board foot, his trays are 7 inches long and at least 2.5 inches wide. Once you add in the extra inch of waste all the way around each tray your looking at 9x4 1/2 inches per tray. That's 2 maybe 3 trays per board foot. You would have to get it for 3 dollars per board foot. He made 48 for $50 in material. So he's paying 3$ per board foot for walnut? More like 150$ in materials.
Ahhh predictable consistent work >>>
Didn't know you don't pay sales taxes on wholesale products! Great Vid
It's considered a business to business transaction which has different tax rules around it.

STL isn’t the industry standard for subtractive manufacturing, it’s STEP

Etsy has to be made mostly by you. You can have help from someone else if your design. If mass-produced by someone else is an no-no on Etsy.
Got news for ya. 90% of the stuff on Etsy are no-name knockoffs from China that is resold as "handmade."

Hang in there Pedro. We have a variety of content, coming soon, aimed at people learning the machine and the software for the first time.
Also, Winston has a variety of terrific content from his journey through CNC. ruclips.net/user/WinstonMoyvideos
@@carbide3d I hope so. I spent my savings. I’m a disabled person. I just don’t know what to do. Thank you
What are you exactly having a problem with? setting it up? or the software? i.e. carbide create/motion

No way is he only spending $50 on all that walnut.
