Customer Reviews for VEVOR CNC 3018 Pro 300×180×45mm CNC Machine GRBL Control Mini Engraver with Offline Controller 3 Axis Engraving Machine for Carving Milling Plastic Acrylic PVC Wood

Man bekommt wof_ man zahlt. 800 EUR f_ eine 4-Achsen Fr?se ist halt wirklich ein guter Preis.In der Lieferung waren Gravurstichel und Fr?ser bereits enthalten, was mir erlaubt hat das Ger?t gleich zu testen (die zus?tzlich bestellten Fr?ser waren noch nicht da)Alle Imbusschl_sel/Werkzeuge f_ die Montage waren auch dabei. Aufbau geht Rasch.Die Achsenkupplungen machten mir zu Beginn sorgen. Eine davon ist nicht "gefedert" aber ich glaube das ist Absicht, und habe diesen Motor an der Z-Achse montiert.Der Controller kam mit USB anschluss (yay!) aber scheinbar kein support f_ MACH3 (buh!).. aber mal schauen.Verpackt war es etwas schlampig (Schrauben lagen lose rum), und die Befestigungsl?cher f_ die vierte Achse wurden wohl von einem Lehrburschen gemacht. Hier und da w?re generell Entgraten angebracht gewesen. Aber wie gesagt. F_ den Preis, top. Daher dennoch alle Sterne.Erste tests mit PMMA zeigen: das Ding kann definitiv nicht nur gravieren. F_ Anf?nger/Hobbybastler wirklich gut!

Delivery was quick, great! The device works fine and milling quality is OK.I spent the better part of the day assembling it, due to sketchy and conflicting instructions in a Chinglish language which is difficult to understand at times. I actually found a good tutorial video AFTER I finished putting it together.I played with it for a while and overall I am satisfied with this toy. I am giving it 4 stars because:1. Imprecise and conflicting assembly instructions.2. D-shaped spindle shaft. This causes the er11 chuck to be a fraction of a mm off-center and thus to vibrate a great deal when going more than 50% power. It doesn't seem to affect precision much, but the noise is horrible. Even when not drilling!3. The spindle assembly positioning screw coupler was not fastened well and due to mentioned vibrations, it came loose and the spindle plunged into the plate. It ruined one of the tools...4. No clear instructions for the cronos maker control board: what are the functions of all those pins and connectors? How to wire limit switches and if needed a z-probe? What is the function of the "servo" pins? What does the Auto/on jumper do? How are the 2-3 pin laser connectors to be used? What bluetooth module is compatible woth the board? And most importantly, how can I safely upgrade the grbl version from 0.9j?Sorry about the rant.As I mentioned, I am pretty happy with how the machine performs and after performing the initial calibration, it does a great job, at least from a beginner's point if view.I had seen other models which came with the 3d-printed plastic components. This one has them made of real and sturdy-looking plastic, so the quality is quite good for such a priceworthy toyI would actually appreciate some help on the issues I listed, as it seems that answers to the questions are pretty hard to find.Hope this review helps.

I'm experienced with 3d printers, although this is the first time I have assembled a CNC machine as I usually purchase them preassembled. That said, I have learnt a lot just by constructing this machine by hand.It's a good idea to set aside a day or two to build everything, as this is not a 'straight out of the box' product. It took me three days in total to get anything engraved and that was before I delved into the numerous programs for designing custom projects. Once build the machine plugs straight into the computer/ laptop via the USB. Download the driver, open the attached programs and you are away.The instructions are lightweight. I received a general booklet and had to download the instructions specific for the 1600 model from the included USB drive. I had to scour youtube for a few tutorial videos from other CNC users to get everything just right.Something that is not mentioned is the bars of X and Y-axis come 'dry'. As in there is no oil on the bars upon arrival. There is no warning to this in the instructions, which should be addressed as it can damage the bars due to friction. I had to purchase CN-40 machine lubricant separately, which fixed that issue.It will take me a while to master the programming. The accompanying USB drive has the 'Candle' software and a plugin for 'Inkscape' to create gcodes with. In my case, the inkscape plugin is out of date and the latest version has a completely different way of generating gcodes. Candle itself works fine for sending the codes to the machine. If I can find an easier way of getting my designs into gcode format, I'd be all set.On a side note, I've yet to use the laser attachment that came with my machine and probably won't be until I master the basics.Pros--Small (could be a con if you need to do bigger projects.) For me I do smallish crafting such as engraving charms. I don't have a lot of space, so something small and moveable work perfect for me.-Surprising easy to build once you know how.-Can be upgraded.Cons--Lightweight instructions.-Software choice is a minefield.

Still learning to use item to achieve best result

Advertised as easy to use I found it very hard to programme does not come with any discsVery expensive to return to seller if its no good for you

We like the machine alot and it was easy to put together

The quality is excellent, the packaging is thick foam, came, everything is whole, the package, tracked all the way

Funciona muy bien. No es muy complicada de montar. Trae unas fresas de punta de lanza y una lamparita (que no s para qu vale). OJO: el l_er no est incluido.

Ottimo prodotto. Tutto benissimo.

pour ce qui est des logiciel mach3 il est fourni il suffit de faire une manipulation de fichier pour avoir la bonne license
