Why Carbide Create Pro 7 - Straight Talk 

which one is included ?

@@GuidoMillonezz The basic carbide create is free I think and works well with shapeoko from the start.

1000% agree seems a bit ridiculous that you don't at least get it free for a year or something I just spent six grand so it be nice to get something other than just the machine especially if you made this offer yourself that last bit was for a carbide... @carbide 3d

Good software costs money to keep developing new features. If the pro version was 'free', the result would be a higher price for the machine. The free non-pro version is good for beginners but maybe a free year of pro would be nice with higher end machines.

Great to hear!

False

If you buy Carbide Create Pro, it will output normal G-code. If your machine takes G-code, it'll work.

To export G-code to your machine running Mach3, you'll need Create Pro.

The link to my.Carbide3D.com is there. Give it a look..

Kevin. Create Pro will output G-Code. However, you really should look at Shapeoko. It’s a superior platform and the overall ecosystem is something you’re going to want. As a new CNC user you will not find a company offering anything close to our package of machine, machine support, video training and resources. Check out my.carbide3d.com Additionally, you’ll find that our machines offer the best value and capability.

If you already have a STEP or STL file, MeshCAM makes it easy to cut your part. If you need to design your part, CC Pro might be a better fit.

Honestly, we never really thought about it. We'll have to take a look at how to add that in the future.

@@carbide3d I would switch as soon as possible

Standard Carbide Create is free and will definitely get you a long way down the road. Have you been over to my.carbide3d.com ?? Create Pro is just a kicker on top of an already capable program.

Download it here: carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/

It’s an ongoing journey.

If you have Carbide Create Pro, you can save G-code to external files.

@@carbide3d Folks - it is REALLY disappointing you removed saving g-code from the free version. I am constantly recommending your product to beginners as a free and highly capable entry point for those wanting to save some money. Seriously consider putting it back. Compromise somewhere else and don't remove features that have been in the product since it's inception. It's not a good move for the community and certainly not a good precedence. 0.02.

@@cyberreefguru cant you download the old version

I would cut that particular item in 2D on its side.

@@carbide3d so only 3/4 of the wood is attached to the spoil board. It doesnt seem like it will hold. They are 4x2x 3/4

Tabs or super glue and blue tape for work holding.

The keyhole should have been included Wade. It's in there. First thing is that you're going to need a keyhole end mill.

@@carbide3d Yeah I saw it figured it out thanks.

Nobody wants another "edgy" commenter either. Yet here you are. Jesus the CNC community is full of so many wannabe edge lords it's ridiculous.

@@CDRaff Being honest about their awful CAD/CAM software isn't edgy.

@@JustinAlexanderBell well which one do you recommend at this price range? The ‘V’ brand is way too expensive for hobby use.

It's been around for about a year or so.

@@carbide3d First i've heard of it as well. You guys need to get the word out more!

Hope you're diving in!
