This is the best video by far for beginners, I’ve just put the machine together and about to get stuck in using the steps you’ve shown. Just what I needed Thanks!
Hi Ben, Things have been a little disjointed, which translates to " how the hell do I set this device up" and you have basically supplied the missing link. I now know how to set up the driver and the Universal g-code sender. You were a bit long-winded but you got there way before me. My only excuse is that I am 82 years old with fried brains due to overuse. Many thanks, Ben, you are my saviour.
I recently bought one of these CNC 3018 pro machines. However it doesn't have any software drivers with it. I managed to get it from a college that were selling their tech equipment. Do you know where I can download the drivers?
Hi Ben, Santa bought me the Vivor 3018 CNC Router LASER Engraving machine for Christmas. I'll be following along with your videos once I've got the machine powered up (our son had a new puppy from Santa, so he, is taking some time up) it's a thumbs up & subscribe from me. Take care & I'll see you on the next one.
Hi mate! Good video! I have bought this machine but unfortunately the delivered USB stick is corrupted so I don´t have the software available. Do you have any idea where I can download it or could you share it maybe somewhere for me? Thanks for helping, Johannes
Hi Ben. I really thankful for this video. But i have some issues with TTC 3018 mashie. It's engraving switched left and write. And the output is so smaller than G-Code measurements. i can't even engrave 100mm. can you please help me with that 🙏
The software is here if you want it www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v8kqdlrhpdoouujdoufjy/CNC-Files.zip?rlkey=lx53175k1jzsrizis0nsnwyew&dl=0 If that link doesn't work for you drop me an email at Husondiy@gmail.com
Every time I try using ugs different things happen. Sometimes it will not move in any direction. Trying to run a program it just sets there doing nothing but looks to be running on ugs. I’m so frustrated with this 3018 pro. Any idea what to do?

Hello there!
Have you managed to reduce the noise somehow. Mine sounds exactly the same way. I think its louder than it is supposed to be
Hello!! No I haven't unfortunately, still loud, especially on the harder materials
Getting a higher Amp power supply can reduce the noise of the motor under a load.

Awesome stuff Alan!! Glad to hear you've got some goodies for Xmas! Hope all is going well with the new puppy too 👍🏻🐕🦺

Hi!!! I lost track of everything I made!! 😅 Do you have a CNC machine?
@@husondiy just bought a little one to try it out, waiting for the right bits to arrive before I try it out

Thank you
thanks for informations ,I recommend you to organize your desktop, you will find what you need faster .

UGS 👍🏻
I am having the same issues with mine.

HI WHERE IS THE LNK FOR SOFTWARE UGS
Very good spot Paul, apologies I missed it from the description! Added now, and here for reference winder.github.io/ugs_website/download/
Every time I try using ugs different things happen. Sometimes it will not move in any direction. Trying to run a program it just sets there doing nothing but looks to be running on ugs. I’m so frustrated with this 3018 pro. Any idea what to do?
What cable are you using to connect between your PC and the machine?
USB cable to mini b to control board
Maybe worth trying a different cable!? Wonder if something wrong with it?
will the same file work for a Mac?
Hello!!! I'm not sure it can be. But I've not tested so can't confirm 100%
UGS causes interrupting connection permanently...
You having problems still?
Use a piece of paper when zeroing the Z axis. It should slip underneath until it's zeroed, will barely grip when zeroed.
Awesome!! Thanks for the tip, much appreciated 👍🏻
