Its a great machine, however at that price point, I can get larger, machine, more power, more features.
This is the best review and really reassured me and calmed me after backing the campaign. Thank you so much kind sir
Great viedo. I would like to see a 4th axis setup in Fusion 360 like for the example file Makera sent with the product. Can´t figure out how to get the 4th axis to turn when milling.
Rotary toolpaths are only available with the manufacturing extension. Tool orientation is available with the full version. The free version you need a new setup for each direction.
@@techydiy Thanks for responding. Yes, i know that. Hoped someone could make a video of it before i maybe upgrade or go for another program.
Makera used Deskproto for the demo file; the hobby multi-axis edition is more reasonable at 248 euros.
@@techydiy Thanks for info. Will check that out
I wish i have this machine😅
Overall it's a pretty impressive "little" machine. I think it gives you most of what you need for most small projects. I'd be remiss if I didn't say though that for a couple grand more (yes I realize thats 2.5x the price of this) you can get a 4x4 cnc machine with much bigger tooling capabilities, more speed, etc. That said, those take up a lot more room as well and eat up more power too. So for a starter cnc project maker, this is pretty slick.
What a great video you put together showing the device in action - very cool! Too bad I didn't know about it during the KS, out of my price range now!
Bravo. Perfect
Bravo.perfect
great review. kinda pricey for me , i would only use it now and then . the machine looks solid , the noise levels are high , the incasing needs improving .
Also possible to milling plexiglass? Thx
Plexiglass is a brand name for clear cast acrylic, which it can mill and is shown in the video.
@@techydiy really? Looks it 3 times and there was no plexiglass to see? Video time?
Sorry, I was looking at another video when I answered. Yes, it will cut acrylic, pretty much an cnc router will cut acrylic, the easiest to cut is cast acrylic, extruded acrylic melts easily.
Please make it affordable 😩
This is an insanely good review video/tutorial 👍
What a time to be alive. To think a (serious) hobbiest can buy a tool that can do all these different things, unthinkable ten years ago.
i love how my little place have some tools now, over 3d printer / laser / resin _ mill now and some other comming, can't think that 10 years ago ahah
What a time to be alive. In the next 5-7 years these will be on the same path as 3D printers. Started out pricey and few and far between and now they are relatively affordable and everybody has one / can get one. It will be absolutely wild to be able to have a desk top CNC.
This looks like bambu labs take on a 3018
Not bad at all considering the top of the line Sherline CNC system is $7,000 and has less rigidity and open loop Steppers
perhaps it would have been worth the money if it weren’t for the round shafts (not rails!!) on the y-axis. the mechanism on the x is like cardboard bent and glued to a screw. If someone gave me something like this, I wouldn’t refuse it, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it.
Amazing video, worked really well for me!
i would like to see the actually time it take to machine metals like silver and gold and if it is well suited for silver and gold, I'm in the jewelry business and trying to figure if this is a machine for me.
Given that they are very soft metals, my guess is that it would be better to machine a mould and then cast silver and gold. It could certainly machine the mould (mold), and the time it took would depend on the size and the detail.
Thanks for this. I was starting to consider cancelling my pledge and going with something else. But for the Kickstarter price it definitely seems like a good deal.
Who in their right mind thought adding mouse clicking sounds was a good idea?
Me, to annoy you ;-)
That rotary 4th axis at 2:10 looks amazing. Any idea of this can be bought separately? I want to use this in my 3axis cnc router
You can just buy genetic rotary units, try ebay
The country I live in is Korea. How can I buy it? I'm curious about the purchasing process
You can email them about shipping to specific countries.
What's the biggest piece you can mill with this? Likewise can it be used for turning, say if i want to take material off a 300mm barrel?
not worth it
Nice bro 👌🙂😊🙋
Anything over $1,200 and you're a sucker.
$1200 is too less don’t you think?
Oh please.... show me a single 4 axis machine doing aluminum, titanium, and other soft metals for less than $1200 you crack head.
Great in depth look What timber are you using for the 3d relief? Im guessing it's a softwood? I currently use a wm3020 with a makita palm router on it for my A4 oak wall plaques and i really like the look of the carvera but the 200w spindle with 0-13000 rpm is putting me off
Beech.
Exactly the deep dive I was looking for - thanks!
Thanks!
Brilliant! I backed this in the first hour of the Kickstarter and I've been checking the review videos as they've been appearing. Yours is the most comprehensive and informative by a long way. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Great review as always
Excellent video. Thanks it was very educational. Can’t wait to get mine.
2150 usd for a machine with round linear guide rails? really?
Probably because round linear guides are the most appropriate for the design, it makes no difference to the performance that I can determine.
What type of vacuum system are you using? Have you found problems that the guiding systems are not covered and can get the chips?
I have a camvac 2 motor dust extractor which is total overkill. It really doesn’t need anything powerful. No I didn’t have any problems. I assume Makera will add covers.
I noticed you put some aluminium in the 4th axis, but don’t see any footage of you actually milling it. Did you try it and if so, how was your experience?
I have tried Aluminium rotary index milling with f360 and that worked fine. I only got Kiri:moto working at the end, so I haven’t tried rotary toolpaths with that yet. Lots more to explore basically.
Is it usual with these type of machines to refer to end mills by their length, example 25mm and 12mm, rather than the diameter?
I am assuming that the viewer sees the photo earlier in the video with all of the endmill details.
@@techydiy at 9:16 as an example.
3:12 is where I define what the 25mm endmill is. I thought it was clear.
15:18 ... Love how much the CNC software is in sync with the machine 🤭
i cant tell if your kidding lol, its hard to tell as its sped up
I think you're the first person to actually show the machine moving in real time and what it actually sounds like. Thank you.
Until now I have seen all Carvera Air reviews and this is best of all of them. Very good instructions and detailed overview. Thank you!
Thanks, it took a lot of work, so I appreciate that.
@@techydiy I agree. Most "reviews" just go through the sample projects. You actually did your own work and showed your workflow. Great job!
Agree. Except video and makes me happy I’ve backed this
@@womackoyes
@@womacko I've seen it. Really good also. Made me happy I'm adding the 4th axis
I have used this machine for hours, every day for three months, so if you have any questions, please ask.

This is great! Thanks!
Explanation is soo great
This is difficult for a beginner so really practice makes perfect this reminds me of when I started cad class for building I guess steps become like breathing the more you practice but it’s a lot to keep up with at first
thnx
Nice job on the video, but that spindle doesn't look like 10k rpm...
There are two spindles in the video, but I guess you didn’t watch that bit.
I don't see how you're able to do this, but I hope you can help. I tried 2 different LED strips and they just can't properly light up my acrylic sign. Mostly it's a faint light near the top where the strip is. I can't get an answer from anyone else on YT who made these acrylic LED signs.
Make sure the leds are in contact with the acrylic sheet, move it forwards and backwards to find the best location. Also make sure your engraving is deep enough.
@@techydiy The engraving is deep enough. It was bought online. I messed up because I wanted to remove the switch, and I guess it shorted out. So I removed the old LED strip. Still can't figure out why my LED strips don't light it bright enough. Nothing is working, I even tried angles.
Hey guys, I have a PROVerXL 4030 and I’m running UGS as my G-code sender. I’m keep getting an error code of “(Alarm 1) hard limit has been triggered.” But it happens when in the middle of a project when my spindle isn’t anywhere needs any of the limit switches. Anyone have experiences with this?
Unplug the limit switches from the controller box and see if the problem goes away, if it does check the wiring with a multimeter on the resistance range to see if there are any intermittent short circuits.
wow thank you
What a great video, thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👍
Wow! That was such a great video! I will search for the latest Ortur Master and a few accessories. Which laser head do you recommend to start? Should I get two when ordering? Do you recommend any other accessories? I've seen some people use colored tissue paper (using water or vegetable oil) to hold it on glass. What do you think?
