When I have a long carve on my CNC (Onefinity, Shapeoko, Xcarve or other brand) or 3D Printer, I like to remotely monitor it to make sure everything is going smoothly. I'd like to say, " NEVER LET YOUR CNC RUN WITHOUT YOU THERE!", but lets be real. We've all done it.
What i do is have this camera set up so I can periodically check in and make sure everything is cutting fine. In the event of a catastrophic error, I pair the camera with a wifi outlet. I have my CNC and Router plugged in to the wifi outlet and can shut if off anywhere I have internet or cell reception. Click the two links on the right to buy the same products I use. It's a small price to pay for piece of mind.

This is from DIY Crafts on facebook. They took my original video and edited it for their site. At the time of posting here it has over 2 million views. The comments absoultly blast me for 'wasting' all the colored pencils. Guess what, they were dontated by Positive Art US! I am a little upset about the gaps in the black Fuji letters. I poured the resin too deep at one shot and it cracked under the heat. I wasn't sure how to fix it. This was a first try, so you live and you learn. Views are views right?
-Ben Want to watch the original video? Watch below. I've put out a video on my YouTube channel that will walk you through programming and cutting my threaded wasteboard step by step. Remember, you need Carbide Create version 316 for toolpaths to show up. Happy cutting! |
