The CNC 3018 PRO router kit is an upgraded version of the 3018 CNC. It comes with aluminum profiles that are strong and durable. The frame is mostly made of aluminum alloy and bakelite. It has a lot of strength and is very precise. This engraving machine has a working travel of 300(X) x 180(Y) x 43(Z) mm, which is enough space for different types of workpieces.
It comes with a transparent enclosure, so you can see the engraving process from all sides without getting hurt by dust or chips. This milling engraving machine has this feature. It also keeps your work area clean and quiet so that you can enjoy the pleasure of engraving plastics, aluminum, acrylic, PVC and other materials. This acrylic CNC enclosure also helps keep your work area quiet.
Upgraded Three Axes: Three new axes are made for plane engraving. With the knob, you can move the axes by hand, which makes it easier to set the carving tool. There are T8 stainless steel screw rods with a lead distance of 4 mm in each of the units that drive them. In this case, double copper nuts are used to clear up round trip error.
GRBL and Offline Control: The GRBL control has an XYZ axis drive and can be used offline. That’s why it’s better to use an offline controller. 1. You don’t need to connect to the computer to play this game. 2. You can choose any offline file for engraving. Manually move the X, Y, and Z axes where you want the engraving to start, then turn on or off the spindle.
In this CNC 3018 pro engraver machine, three 42 stepper motors and a 775 (12-36V) 24V spindle motor with a speed of 10000 r/min are used to move the parts. And the engraver can read JPG, BMP, PNG, and DXF files directly from Windows XP SP3, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and other programs.
There is no need to use a 3D printer or cut steel.
Yeah, if you think about it, this machine is much less expensive than the kind of machine that can cut vinyl, and with a few extra tools, it can do a lot more. You’ll have to learn a little, but, come on, this is the cheapest CNC of its size. You can look up how to improve it on YouTube. I’ve already cut aluminum, plastic, vinyl, and wood in the first month, and I’m not even done with the class yet. It can also use a laser. Be honest and don’t look at the machines at school or work and compare this to them. Also, it was very easy to put together. When you start making GCode for it, the learning curve comes into play because any free software has a steep learning curve, and easy software costs money. It comes with software to run it, but unlike 3D printer software, CNC machine software needs CAD/CAM software to make a file that can then be used on the CNC software. Also, the steppers on my machines don’t slack, so they don’t have “backlash error.” Before you put them together, make sure the shafts don’t move.
