CNC 3018 Files. Where to Get Files from?

LMikael on 26/08/2024 - 21:00

Got a CNC 3018 PRO. Done few milling using easel pro (30 day trial). Got a 3d printer and bit easier to find sites where I download the STL from. Where do I easily download files for the cnc machine. Mostly i found is the laser site of it. (I do have a laser with it) But want to focus on the carving side of it. Currently building an arcade machine. Milled the button side of it and came out good.

    You need to import into Fusion360 or similar and generate the tool path.

    This is equivalent to the slicer step for 3d printing.

    Make them in cad.

    Learn to write g code.

    STL files are just 3d models, your CNC can also mill 3d models. You need a program to turn the 3d model into gcode for the machine. Essentially what a slicer does for the printer.

    I wouldn't bother with all the work simply to make, someone elses model though. Get free version of Fusion360 and learn to model what you want.

    Thanks. I did install fusion few days ago. Using lightburn for laser.
    Have used blender previous for my 3d printer.

    Just have to learn fusion as seems to be the goto software lot of people use.
