Carving a Large 3D WorldMap Model - Onefinity Journeyman / CarveCo 

Thanks! Definitely a learning curve on the recording and editing.

Thanks! Their were some parts I should have recorded but didn’t realize it until editing. By that time the project was done! Taking that lesson into the next video lol

It really is! I’ve had mine for about 6 months - it can do a wide variety of things

Thanks!! I'm working another giant carve as we speak!

@@TsTimbers Lovely! what price would you average the last piece would go for?

@@deonbaptiste1991 Its hard to say with artistic pieces like that but I value it at $800.00 having spent a considerable amount of time effort and resources on it.

Thanks! Ill actually be listing this one and a few other 3d carvings on my Etsy shop on Wednesday this week if you want to take a look then! 😎

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll be doing a huge Eagle next!

Thanks! You can pause the machine for extended periods of time but if you turn it off it will completely reset your project. I frequently pause the machine and than come back to it 8 hours later or so and haven’t had any issues with that.

If the power goes out your project is going to be completely reset - I don’t carve in thunderstorms anymore 😂

I like the Makita router but after looking at some of the videos that use the spindle I am now looking to upgrade.

Thanks! It can be a little tedious mounting certain workpieces but the amount of space I'm saving is worth it!

@@TsTimbers Do you think the CA glue and tape mounting would work with this setup?

@@rirsz so it does work with lighter workpieces but not with heavier ones. I had to much trouble with the tape and glue method on the wall mount so I stopped doing it entirely.

I paused it and left the box running so that it wouldn’t reset to the beginning. I think their is a way to edit the G Code to break it up into time blocks but I haven’t learned how to do that yet!

Congratulations, that’s a nice one! I believe the foreman has a Wi-Fi connection you will need to connect it to your home network and than read the address displayed on the top right of the foreman screen. Enter the address into a web browser and you will see the admin screen on your computer. From their you can upload files directly from the computer to the foreman. If you want to use a thumb drive you must use your computer software (carveco, vCarve etc.) to produce the gcode from your created tool paths. After that transfer the Gcode from your computer to the thumb drive. Than take your thumb drive out and plug it into the usb on the foreman - you than can load the new gcode onto the foreman from the admin screen. I separate my toolpaths into separate files so I can run them independently it might be helpful to number them in the order you will carve them. Hope this helps!

@@TsTimbers I do not know how to create the gcode

I see - do you have any computer software yet? I use CarveCo - I think vcarve has a free trial

Mechanically it works just fine! I have the QCW frame from 1F as well which helps a lot. Sometimes it can be difficult to clamp down heavier workpieces with gravity working against you.

Thanks!! Yup the boards need to be completely square before glueing to get the best result!

Please no eagle! Then I’ll want to buy a machine.

@@John_GGG Lol, I am working on it right now! 😎

You can find a lot of 3D files on Etsy that are like this one. The size will depend on how you manipulate the STL file in your software. IE CarveCo / Vcarve

Thanks, I have had some similar comments - future videos cut terrible music 🤣
