Hi Chris, new to cnc, a suggestion for a video, only have carbide pro atm, would love to see a growth board, tiling method, have shapeoko 4xxl arriving tomorrow, I have seen tutorials on vcarve pro and carveco maker plus, but not seen done with carbide create
@@ChrisPowellFSD Im on the fence atm about eventually upgrading to either vcarve pro or carveco maker plus....I know they have the tiling feature......just curious about the process
As always Chris, awesome video. Cant wait to get into 3d stuff. Still learning the basics though with my XXL. LOL maybe i work too much away from home......
Chris - I always watch you videos and enjoying learning from you. You're pretty easy to follow with your explanations. I'm hoping you might do a follow up video on CCPro 3D images with the newer CC version such as 530. I'm all in when it comes to updating and improving but Carbide Create fails to update their videos explaining the new screens. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
@@ChrisPowellFSD You DO make great videos. Too funny, and here I am thinking the exact same thing as Mr Morel here. I'm watching this video and it is now 2 years old. I'm using CC Pro Ver 729, and it is even that much different. I've even watched some videos from Winston Moy and even those are outdated...
@@ChrisPowellFSD Good morning Chris, thanks for the reply. I started the monthly membership to CarveCo maker about 6 months ago. It seems to be intuitive, but I still struggle with some of the aspects of it. Like creating 2.5D, 3D, and setting up the toolpaths. I do my design work on CarveCo, but then take the SVG's and put them into Carbide Create to do the toolpaths and run Carbide Motion. I struggle with the computer a lot. Anyway, I'm continually drawn to your videos. You explain things in a way I can understand them. I have an off topic question... in your little video that plays with your logo before your videos, there is a flash of you running what looks like a wood stacked human head through a router or table saw. What is that technique called? ...the wood stacking? I've been googling it and can't seem to find d the right search words. Is there an easy way to take an item (say a skull or a human head) measure it and slice it so you can cut those slices out and glue them up?
@@nathanduval7202 so that was a layered plywood head that was all cut out on the cnc. Then I wrapped each layer with strips of veneer and made a lamp. The plywood was just a form. There’s a video on here about it from a while back. As far as learning Maker goes, I struggled with that stuff too and did the same as you. The only way to get past it is to force yourself to use Maker for everything. It’s not that it’s harder, it’s just different. Once you get that new order of operations down, it will be second nature. It’s probably about time I do another video on it.
Hello Chris. Great videos. I am trying to follow step by step what you are teaching in this video but my Carbide Create does not show the import component just the export. is there any way to import those .PNG files?? Your input will be appreciated. I have Pro version 530.
Thank you, I have been looking. Now if I could learn blender enough to create 3d models and grayscale reliefs from .jpg pictures, Vcarve will be more like Asp.... (shhh they're listening)
Please keep going to export and cut!! This was just what I needed to get started doing this!! Thank you
I’ll probably do another video on this, but the wavy flag video I linked to covers this also.

There’s no easy way to do it with CC. Everything has to be done manually. I’ve been meaning to do a video about it.

Yea you definitely need more time in the garage. Actually, I think I do too.
Do you prefer Carbide over V carve? I use Carbide create now. I was thinking of moving into Vcarve. Whats your opinion on the two?
I prefer Carveco Maker over both of them. th-cam.com/video/Num5Zhx9txg/w-d-xo.html
Very good explenation on how to use 3D grayscale images but how can I make a toolpath for this component?
I’ve got a video for that too. th-cam.com/video/MJJsvmnT3lM/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the support! I’ll try to do another video on this. They change stuff so fast it’s hard to keep up.

@@nathanduval7202 I finally stopped using the program and moved to Carveco Maker and Maker Plus

Sir, You are a top notch man. Thank you for taking my emails. Stay safe. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Hi Chris exxelent explanations thank you
Question I have svg files can I just go to pro and use it and do a 3D ?
You would need a greyscale image to do what I did in this video. You can use an svg, but you will need to shape the design yourself.
Wanting to get into cnc & came across your videos. How would you do a negative relief?
Hello Chris. Great videos. I am trying to follow step by step what you are teaching in this video but my Carbide Create does not show the import component just the export. is there any way to import those .PNG files?? Your input will be appreciated. I have Pro version 530.
It’s there somewhere. They keep changing stuff. That’s why I moved on to Carveco Maker.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thanks for your reply. Will take a look at the Carveco Software. Keep providing us with your knowledge and good teaching.
Is that grayscale or depth map. I think those are 2 different things.
12/3/2020...Just got the free one year subscription of Carbide Create Pro. My subscription ends December 3rd. 2021
Thank you
Any way you can give a tutorial on how to do this on the free version of CC?
This only works in the pro version. You can actually get it for free for a year. launch.carbide3d.com/promo
How to make this grayscale photos on ur own
Hey Chris. I trying to import a png. I don't have that option in trial version? Am I doing something wrong?
They’ve probably changed the software 700 times since I made this video. That’s one of the reasons I stopped using it.
What are you using now?
Thank you, I have been looking. Now if I could learn blender enough to create 3d models and grayscale reliefs from .jpg pictures, Vcarve will be more like Asp.... (shhh they're listening)
Can you use jpeg grayscale images or only png images.
Yes you should be able to use multiple file types now.
