You mention CNC in a few of your videos. Do you own one? If so, what do you have? and do you do all your programming in Fusion 360?
Great videos!
Hi Charlie,
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos!
I’ve worked with many CNCs, ranging from hobbyist (a few hundred dollars) to professional (upwards of thousands) and everything in-between. I currently have the Longmill by Sienci Labs, which is a great affordable hobbyist CNC that I would recommend.
That said, I would have a larger machine if I had the room for it. My workshop is in my garage, so I’m limited on space. If you have the room, check out Avid CNCs. They’re affordable compared to CNCs in their size and even better they are modular and can adapt in size if your needs change later on.
I use Fusion 360 for most of my CAM/CNC work. I’ve used vCarve Pro in the past, but would only recommend it for signage work or mesh file (stl) designs.
Cheers,
Kevin
