I am a total newbe to CNC and I ordered a Onefinity today. Can I get the software to practice with while I wait 3 months for delivery?

There is demo software for download on the Buildbotics site. When I asked OF they said it would be very similar to their version, and would provide good insight and practice.

That software is called camotics.

Easel is free and easy to learn. Is web-based so you can open it and use it anywhere with an internet connection.

Hi Erik - start by getting familiar with the workflow. You generally design your product in some sort of CAD software, then develop the machining (i.e., tool paths) in a CAM software, and export the tool paths as gcode using a post processor (PP). Then send your gcode to the machine using a control…

As a fellow noob, welcome to the world of CNC, I’ve watched a lot of different youtube videos, so far I’ve played around in Fusion 360 with limited success.

I did a little tinkering with powerpoint and discovered that i can save a drawing as a SVG file as well as jpeg

Any vector format (SVG) is best. I would, however, take a close look at the output file. Sometimes programs generally a lot of nodes in their vectors, which can choke some programs (like Fusion 360). If you’re outputting in SVG, I’d just start in Inkscape instead, but use whatever makes you most …

[image] cyberreefguru: Easel is a combination of light weight CAD/CAM and controller SW. You can do some very basic designing, build your tool paths, and generate gcode (and send it to the X-Carve but not the OF). What did you mean by this? Sorry, I’m totally new at this and I have no experi…
