  • In this video, we go over using both MC Etcher (diamond drag engraver) and a regular endmill to create illuminated designs with materials from our Edge Light Kit.

    Any way we can see a material video for acrylic, extruded especially, using the ZrN 0 flute bits for speeds and feeds? Love your work.

    I’ve been doing this lately. I didn’t know that I could engrave if I had the “pro” program. The pattern is weird etching glass without the engrave tooth path. Thx for the video. How much is the program upgrade?

    Hey mate. Looking to make one of these for a concept project. Looking for something on the cheaper entry end model at around $500. You have any recommendations?

    It looks like your LED base has a wider slot that can hold a 1/25 inch or larger piece of acrylic. All I can find on Amazon are bases that hold 1/8 acrylic. Any suggestions where I can find the larger width bases?

      Single Flute or O-Flute cutters are best for acrylic. Treat it like a metal.

    is the spindle fan a 3d print or machined? Can it be purchased?

    • @carbide3d
      @carbide3d  3 года назад

      It's injection molded, included with every Nomad. We don't offer it for purchase separately at the moment, that may change in the future but I can't make any promises.

      Look on Etsy. There are a number of sellers who sell 3D printed versions that you can add to your own bits.

      I got mine on Ebay... Their spring is a little more forgiving. The 2 bits I got from Carbide Create are hella strong and by the time you back down the spring tension with the screw I fear the screw will back out on it's own.

      We don't have an exact reading on the outer limits of light travel through acrylic. You'd have to do some testing. We've single edge lit signs that are 12in. with success.

      We do not make signs. The idea is that you are able to make signs.
