  • Trust yourself and get this
I was just like you, reading reviews and contemplating if I should meander in to the world of CNC machines, a world that I know nothing about. If you're searching for these machines, you're already interested - so the only thing I can tell you is - get it. I have basic knowledge when it comes to electronics/hardware/software, if you're completely new to these things, the setup and usage may be slightly intimidating, but it IS easy enough that anyone can do it by following basic instructions. Like most mention - instruction manuals aren't the easiest to understand (for anything) but there are a ton of user videos all across the interwebs showing you how to set up/run the 3018. (seriously, if you need to learn anything, ever, about anything, ever, just YouTube or TikTok that ish) Out of box - I was a bit anxious. Any time you're opening a package that has hundreds of tiny parts it can seem like an uphill battle. If you dedicate a half hour or so of watching a set up video (all the way through), then setting it up while watching it again, it makes this set up a breeze. I had mine completed in about an hour, and after a minor issue was up and running. The V Bits that come with the machine are what I use most for cutting out designs. I also purchased some straight bits to use which, to me, are necessary if you're cutting out large pockets of material. As far as while this machine is running, people have mentioned noise quite often in reviews. I did not find the noise to be overwhelming. I have the 3018 set up in a room inside my house, and with the door shut, it doesn't disturb us at all. I use a Mac currently. I hate it, I was born and raised on a PC. So far I have found that Easel (it's a free application from inventables) is the easiest and most user friendly application to send G-Code, or your designs, to the machine. It's also incredibly user friendly for creating new designs for your 3018 if you're less than a novice and don't use any number of graphic suites (inkscape, illustrator, photoshop) along with Fusion 360 to create toolpaths for your designs. Windows users have a ton of more options to utilize your machine while connected to a computer, or you can upload your codes to the controller that comes with the machine to create your projects. I have used the 3018 quite often in the month I have had it. As always, there is trial and error involved. There is a learning curve when it comes to types materials to cut/carve at what speeds, and what types of bits to use. As you try a few projects here and there, you'll get much more comfortable about what to cut, and how to cut it. You can research and read about spindle speeds/materials/bits as much as you want, but you'll inevitably learn more from trial and error after having that basic knowledge from your prior research. So far I have mainly used MDF for my projects, though when attempting to use it on acrylic and copper, I can see the vast potential this machine has. CUSTOMER SERVICE for this product awesome. I had an minor issue during set up, and I was sent a replacement part incredibly quick. I was up and running the same week I received the machine. I have seen reviews complaining, but my experience reflects all of the glowing reviews about the help I received. This isn't a plug and play machine. You have to set it up. You have to learn it. At the price point, and with the capabilities this machine has - it is the PERFECT starter machine to get into the world of CNCs. All I can say is that you won't regret this if you try it. I'll upgrade the bed of the machine for larger projects, and eventually invest in the laser module to play with that as well. I would definitely recommend this machine and I would buy it again. ... show more

  • Great for small parts, very accurate, very well built, and reasonably priced
The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for a desktop CNC router to make small parts for rc model aircraft and quadcopters. The materials which I use most often are 1/16" to 1/4" thick balsa, basswood, light-ply, aircraft grade plywood, spruce, cherry, maple, and occasionally, 3mm carbon fiber plate. I was skeptical that this machine could handle these materials, but after doing some reading on the internet, I decided to give it a try. What I like about it is this: (1) is is very well built, just use blue thread locker on the screws and grub screws holding the parts together because all machines like this are subject to vibration, not matter how well built or expensive they are. (2) Use the depth gauge on a vernier caliper to square the aluminum xy-table to the frame since this thing will, like all machines, be only as good as you put it together. Do this by measuring the distance between the xy-table and the frame on the diagonals from opposite corners of the xy-table. (3) The motor is relatively quite. Quieter than my Dremel 4000. (4) It includes an ER11 collet, and an off-line controller which is easy to use. (5) It has a variety of upgradable parts and spare parts are available. (6) It works particularly well with Easel and FreeCAD, and of course Candle. What I don't care for are the bakelite components, but they are more than strong enough for the machine and the makers had to economize somewhere. Some people complain that there is some flex in the rods supporting the motor carriage. I have not found this to be a noticable problem. In the bags of parts you will find an blue extra shaft coupling adapter. I finally realized that this is used to hold 1/8" bits to the motor's spindle if you don't use the ER11 collet. The ER11 collet is much easier to use. ... show more

  • Great for what it is!
I have spent over 10 years in the CNC router world (building, servicing, installing, training, and running) so this little Sainsmart router kit was not my first rodeo. Here are my impressions: Packaging: Very nice, everything custom fit in foam and a nice box. For the price I was expecting everything thrown in a bag, so this was a good touch. Build quality: I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the quality of the components in this kit. The aluminum extrusions were cut cleanly and tapped properly, though be prepared to do a bit of cleaning; my extrusions were covered in cutting oil and metal shavings and I had to blow them out after wiping them down. I expected the plastic components to be cheap 3d printed parts but they are actually some sort of fairly tough cast resin. The uprights and the sides of the machine are made out of phenolic resin sheets (the instructions call it bakelite) and were cut well. The only thing that seemed to be poor quality were the fasteners and the included hex keys (more on that later). Assembly: Overall, the instruction booklet makes the assembly pretty clear and with a kit this simple there just isn't a whole lot that can go wrong. However, there are a few issues. The first is the aforementioned hex keys: throw them out and grab some decent ones, at least for the small screws. Mine were slightly undersized and I could not tighten down the set screws for the motor couplings at all. Luckily, I have piles of hex keys all over the house so I found a set that worked a little better. The next part is more important, so I'm giving it a couple carriage returns so it stands out: BUILD IT ON SOMETHING FLAT! There is enough play in the machine that you could easily get everything bound up or just have poor accuracy due to the machine being out of square. I used a granite surface block, but not everyone has one of those lying around so at least make sure you're using a flat table. Make sure everything is as flat and square as you can make it. Also, leave the screws for the guide rods slightly loose as you move the machine around, then tighten them incrementally so they don't bind. I did run into a couple assembly issues with my spindle, the first being that it really wasn't a good fit in the actual block. The spindle was too big for the hole and some prying ensued before it would fit. Once I had it mounted, I noticed that the motor didn't have a marking for which side should have the red wire. With a DC motor like this, it isn't a huge issue; if it's spinning the correct way, it's wired right. If it's spinning the other way, you have it backwards. "Correct" in this case means the bit spins clockwise when looking down from the top. Easy way to visualize this is to make a "thumbs up" with your left hand. See the way your fingers are curved? That's the way the bit should spin. Electronics & Software: Everything was plug and play on the electronics part. I liked that cable ties were included so I could keep the wires tidy. I would have appreciated having different size motor cables for each stepper but at least none of them were too short. The circuit board seems well built and was pre-flashed with the correct firmware. All you have to do is install the driver and then open up the software (the Candle GRBL controller software) and set it to the same serial port you see in your device manager. Once that's set up, it's easy to control and send files to. The visualization is a nice touch. All in all, I'd recommend this for anybody looking to get started in CNC routing and doesn't mind the small build volume and anemic spindle. You have to go low and slow with it but it will cut and the machine has good bones if you wanted to start upgrading it down the line. Well worth the ~$200. ... show more
