Let's walk through all the updates to our brand new X-Carve and see how it compares to the previous version. Check out the new X-Carve: www.inventables.com/technolog...
So Inventables/TBD took ideas from Facebook x-carve groups, things people have been doing for years on this machine, CNC4newies Z axis, going to the 269oz motors with the newer controller, buying the 9mm belts and sprockets, raise the X and Y axis, placing stiffeners along the Y rails, adding a dust control system along the Y rails, and switching to the Makita router? If you want to upgrade something, make an adaptor to go from belts/wheels to lead screw/linear rails. Straighten the X axis, it still flexes. it a hollow 40x40mm tube made of aluminum. Just my thoughts.
Don't go for the Makita router, it's extremely difficult to remove 1/8" bits after a carve. A knuckle buster! I'm returning mine and going back to the DeWalt.
I have the old version of the x carve is it possible to run it off a tablet I have the samsung galaxy s7+ 5g tablet with a otg adapter will I have any issues
You might be able to get a little bit faster with the Makita. The big change to the upgraded unit is the improved Z-Axis and larger stepper motors. Those are what really allow you to push the machine to the best feedrates.
Newbie question, but why does the pro take less time to assemble than the beginner model? Is the pro pre assembled in some areas? Why a difference of 14hrs for assembly?
Great question! The X-Carve comes as a kit and the majority of the machine you will be assembling. One of the benefits of the X-Carve Pro is ships in just a few major sections that are already assembled, so the amount of time to get up and running is less.
Compre mi x-carve 6 meces atras . Me hubiera gustado esperar asta que esta nueva maquina saliera . No se me hace justo que tengas que pagar alrededor the $700 mas para que mi $3000 x-carve sea tan rigida ,rapida y con un nuevo router como la nueva. 10% de descuento en el upgrade no es mucho descuento especial mente para un negocio pequeńo como el mio .
