Just purchased one of these and about to do my first CNC job thanks for the video just fills in the gaps of knowledge, just one suggestion, I am not going to cut up my work board I am going to use some scrap board to mount my job on so the CNC tool can cut my job out without damaging the work board. Having spent my hard earned dollars on this wonderful machine I want to look after it and try to keep it as new looking as possible.
Thanks for the run through and details on this - the "double-sided tape" suggestion is a solid one. You can also select the tabs option in Luban when doing cut-throughs as well - that will tell the machine to leave little tabs throughout the workpiece to keep all parts connected - think of those model car / airplane kits with the parts attached to a frame.

When the piece of plastic flew away and hit the camera was scary! Thank you for sharing your experience. Now I know exactly what to expect. The only thing I'm still at a loss is how to prevent the parts from flying like that.
Perhaps a light layer of adhesive to the bottom even just some scotch tape. To be honest the problem is in the g code. An engineer would know better than to complete an outer path before an inner one. Had this been reversed it would not have happened.
@@thumbhobby1390 I was thinking the problem with the piece flying off was really an issue with the Luban software because that program is responsible for generating the movements for the entire sequence. How is the average consumer who is going to use the CNC going to know what order parts should be cut, and how to enforce that in the software? You may want to let Snapmaker aware of this issue and point them to your video so they can investigate this. BTW, I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos. I just got my A350 and I'm trying to learn as much as I can through videos like yours. I think it'll be worth the extra $$$ to get the enclosure after watching your video.
@@auggieben Yes I do understand what your saying and you're totally correct on all counts. This is totally on SNAPMAKER for allowing a programming code out that can do things like this. Luckily enough it was an empty room where this was going on and no one got hurt. The enclosure is also going to be on my of things for this spring to invest in as it will help cut down on noise as well as prevent smoke and debris from spreading. I do have many more videos to come. Thanks for watching.
As you got your measurements already very precise to minimize the cut in to the waste board I suggest just put a few pages of heavy paper / thin cardboard under your actual material. For the actual clamps just get a set of screws with different length and you can adapt for better clearance of the work path.
There is an option in the software to add tabs. This will keep your parts from separating from the stock before the job is finished. The use of a knife will break the tabs from the stock.
Yes, mount your work on top of some material that you don't mind machining into. Leave tabs on flat work to avoid cutout objects from coming off the table. That's why the goggles come in handy. Lol
Can't find a relief carving video, is it possible to rough carve with a thicker mill and then carve the finer parts with a thiner mill? does luban automatically sets goce for rough carving and thin carving?
I'm still looking into this. I do apologize for the delay on getting back to you. One thing you could always try is after doing the final product is offsetting the distance a little lower and changing the tooling which would give you greater detail to the finished product. Still looking into a final answer for you through.
FYI, you are recording with your camera in "Interlaced" mode (like 1080i30) which is why you can see the horizontal lines in the video when you move quickly. Change your camera to record in 1080p (progressive) to get rid of the lines and make the video look better.
It snapped because the slots were not the correct size, You should have set the size they said for the clearances to work. Have yet to use my CNC as i need to setup a clearer area for it, Only used the laser upto now, and had it what 18months ish lol, stood idle for well over 12 months, as i hated the noise of it, But luckily they released some better and so much quieter linear modules and power supply. Have the rotary module to play with also, and should get the 10w laser next month :), Nice video of a start to finish for reference though Thanks m8

I suggest breaktabs for the cut. So the parts don't get lose.

@@thumbhobby1390 I was just watching another video and the guy was making that same cut and that same piece flew out.
Thanks for making this video. Keep those safety glasses on. 👍🏼

@@thumbhobby1390 Thanks! Looking forward for it ;-)
@@JCchan99 I have an official update to this so you know. Sorry I have been a little slacking on things but I'm also getting married today.
@@thumbhobby1390 wow congratulations!!!
What is the maximum size length and width it can cut? TIA
A350 320x350mm

OK, thanks for the tip.
Beautiful

You need to use "double sided tape", and stop cutting avobe "board thikness - 0.05mm".
That's also a very good idea. Thanks for addind that.
