​In this video I walk you through configuring a GRBL based hobby CNC (specificly a Shapeoko 3 XXL) for use with a J Tech Laser and Lightburn software.
The CNC and Jtech aren't your typical laser configuration like a standalone unit would be, so there's some extra steps to configuring Lightburn with the Jtech and the Shapeoko.  These steps should work with most other hobby grade CNC units like the inventables X-Carve.
I'm using a Jtech 4.2w Laser.

​Need an easy way to store you unused Dewalt 20v/flexvolt batteries?  This 3d printed bracket is a simple, easy, and fast way to add storage to any surface using two screws.
These work perfectly for any size Dewalt 20v or Flexvolt battery.

​I've been making colored pencils bowls for years now and decided to film the process from mold to finished colored pencil bowl.  You'll notice in the beginning that there is a larger mold that's sliced up into 3 sections.  I make one mold and it turns into 3 bowls.  Since it's handturned, not every bowl is the exact same.  Watch the video below.

Part 4 of the series, I used some advanced features to design a wooden sign.  I walk you through how to cut out multiple tool paths with endmills and v bits.  Also show how to use the probe with a v bit.  In this one we actually cut the sign on the CNC.
​
I created this video series aimed at the true beginner to hobby CNC's.  Although Carbide Create is made for the Shapeoko, it can be used for any CNC because it just generates G-Code.
Please leave any info i left out that you want to know about in the comments below.  I'll be out with more videos soon.
