Intro to Carveco Maker for the complete beginner - Designing a Monogram 

Great video Chris. Can't wait to see more from you on this software.

I got my start following your advice and tutorials on carbide, then found maker and absolutely love it. It does so much.

Great video. I just got this program. Thanks for describing things with good detail.

Great job. I will be looking for more!!

I sorely need this! Finally figured out at 5:50, when you selected the large "M", you the RIGHT clicked to select it and got the menu with the ungroup vector command, etc.

I think I like it so far. Great video

Great walk through! I have been on the fence with Carveco as a hobbyist but I think im sold.

I actually just picked this up. Definitely helped me understand some of it. Thanks!!

thanks for this - you kept it very simple, especially since i'm very new to all this.

Great Video! Thanks for getting me started with Carveco Maker!!

Thanks man I just got carveco its a learning tool for me but I will keep watching your videos

Great job, well explained, this was my first time in this program, but I got everything easily, Thank you.

Awesome video, explained everything I've been wanting to know about this program working with the shapeoko.👍

Nice video. I have downloaded a trial version of carveco maker. This is so much more advanced than carbide create. Going to take a bit to figure this out, but I will figure it out. Thanks for your videos. I have learned a bunch already.

Thanks Chris much appreciated

Excellent video! Thank you! I'm new here and know NOTHING about CNC. Your video was easy to follow and very informative! :)

I can see right away I'll be spending some serious time with your page.

Awsome video for the novice, Thank you

I just pulled the trigger on this software using your link so wish me luck

This looks like it is a neat software. I may try the basic edition since it seems to have a monthly subscription. I had been saving up for Vectric Aspire.

You can customize your key to centre in the model if F9 is colliding with your recording software. Window>Tools and Docking Windows>Customise. Select keyboard and the category Vector. In that command list you will find "Centre in Model" to select the new key. Looks like most of the shortcuts can be customized.

thank you, great video! I have done the same exact monogram, without the maker text, just a monogram letter. When I go to toolpath, and input the info, I have open vectors at the cut points on the letter at the circle. Why do you think that happens, and what is the best way to close them? Thanks!

Seems to be quite similar to V-Carve by Vectric. Good video.

Great video, I'll have to revisit a few times, more complex than Carbide Create

Chris. Awesome. looking to upgrade beyond CC and Marker looks like it may be the program. Does Maker have a Tiling function and or is it easy to till with the program?

Chris How do you get the yellow background in 3d. i just get a blank canvas

Great video Chris! So, if I do not want the top and bottom rectangle and my big letter intersects with the little letters, how do you deal with cleaning that up? It seems like the software doesnt think those lines intersecting means anything if that makes sense.

Creating a waste board grid from start to finish would be a great help video…. Thanks

awesome introduction to this program. I really appreciate it. Curious though. How does it do with tiling and inlay techniques?

Nice video! Thank you. You said near the end of the video that this program is much easier to use than the one you were using before. If you don't mind me asking, which one were you using before? I've been working with Fusion 360, and it isn't very easy.

I really enjoyed the video but it left me wondering what the next step is. You briefly mentioned something at the end about selecting a post processor and Carbide Motion..."load up Carbide Motion, initialize your machine, load that program and you'd be ready to go." I'm new to this so it sounds like I would need a couple different programs from different companies to string this all together. I have a background working in Adobe Illustrator, SketchUp, Blender and a little SolidWorks so it shouldn't be too hard for me to get up to speed on Carveco Maker. What's confusing is the next steps after you finished this video. I'm asking because I'm about to pull the trigger on a Onefinity Journeyman as my first cnc. I'm creating a shopping list of all the "other stuff" I'll need to buy to get up and running. Software is my missing link. Thanks very much!

Great video Chris, are you done doing CC tutorials? The reason I ask is I had to download a new version of CC because the one I was using crashed. After the new version upload the tool library was changed and I'm not too keen on the way it's going about things. Nothing that I can't work around though. Keep up the great work.

Hey Chris thanks so much for these tutorials I'm new to CNC and they are very helpful. Subscribed. I have an iMac and you said you were using Carveco on Mac with bootcamp. Are you still using it that way as I don't want to buy a new Windows computer to use the software.

Great video. I definitely need to upgrade from the limitations of CC. I want to make this switch but I use two computers. My surface to design sitting in bed at night and use a thumb drive to transfer to my computer mounted to my CNC enclosure. Do you have any idea if this is possible with this software? Thanks for all the info you provide

Awesome video Sir! Would you be able to do the same thing with Carbide Create ? Would love to see a comparison video in Carbide Create. Thanks for the great videos!!

Chris: I'm having trouble grasping CNC/Carveco Maker. Example: I am trying to follow along and do what you do in the video. One of the first things when you click on the OK button on the New Model screen the new model pops up along with a Project/Model Panel on the right side. I have looked every where and cannot find out to display that panel. It is these kind of things that get me confused. Can you/anyone help?

Chris, I've been looking for an alternative program that will do more than what CC can provide. Doesn't seem to have a huge learning curve so I might be able to handle this. Thanks

Hey Chris do you know if its modify a model in carveco. for example I already have my 3d model and started with my wood at 12x12 x .75. I now need to increase the size to 24x24 x .75. I havent found where to edit the size. Thanks James

could you or do you have a video on doing 3d reliefs with carveco maker not maker plus or the really expensive program they have

Sir, I noticed you made mention of the F9 centering your image. I was wondering if there is some sort of cheater for Carveco with any or all of keystroke short codes in it? Not sure if that’s what you would call them.

Watch your video very informative I was almost ready to give up carveco because the guy that narrates the official video lol even though I learn English with a UK TEACHER very hard to understand and the explanation is well

Do you think you could do a video showing how to do the Carbide Advanced Vcarve on Carveco? I’ve tried to research but I’m not sure what the proper terminology is for carveco. Thanks man

Hi Chris. Great video. I was wondering if you could help me out? I'm new at this and using Carveco Maker (just learning). I don't know what I did but I have lost my 2D and 3D tabs. When I open up a new project both the 2D and 3D windows come up and I have to minimize the one I don't use. I hope you can help. Thanks.

Very well made video! But I have a very odd design to cut and I can’t find how to cut it yet. Is there some way I can reach out for help?

Not sure what is going on. I was at the simulation control bar stage but all I get is "Carveco is busy" and I cant back up and give it another try. ??

could you send a link to get carveco pro software that you, liked the video alot

at 11:08, you made your model rotate. Mine does not do that. Is there something else I need to click on first?

I think I'm to select grbl for the machine _____. I'm using a Bob's E4. Also, what is an stl? You referred to it near the end of the video.

can you import stl's in the basic maker version?

Recomended laptop specs for this software ??

I have using Easel for the last year and I keep running into problems which you have to have the pro version. I have purchased the pro and ran with it but its not capable to my machine and doesnt work correctly. I need to change and it looks like this has more options and is cheaper to use. I hope I dont have a large learning curve to use it. I will have to start looking at tutorials

Looks really interesting. Too bad it’s windows only....😕. Thanks for all your videos btw, they have immensely helped out. 🤙🏻

Great video Chris. I'm on the website they have a Carveco Maker Monthly Subscription Regular price$15.00 will that one work?

Why can’t I see the tool bar on the right side of my project like on your screen?

Make 3D relief carvings from photos with maker.

very similar with Artcam Premium version

Christ, Do you know if Maker is compatible with Mac Pro or it’s only available for windows computer?

Chris can you upload Carbide Create files (c2d) to this new software?

Damn, you know how to use all software haha. Did you play a lot of video games when you were young or something?

I bought maker but cant find my license key info to start using it

Im have Fusion360 and the carveco maker didnt works for me. It is hard to use.

Doed car veco have a milling opperation to cut your project out
