    • This is a great machine. Prepare for an education.
Review Image by Michael R. Michael R.
Cutting to the chase, this machine is great. It's built like a tank, assembly instructions were fine, and there are a ton of resourced available online. I got my machine on Sunday, and on the following Saturday was able to cut the piece in my attached picture with no issues. In fact, the only issues that any of my cuts have had were of my own making. The machine works very well. That said, prepare to do some learning, some troubleshooting, and some problem solving. This is my first CNC, but I have extensive experience with 3D printers, and they're the same way. This machine isn't there to hold your hand while carving out intricate masterpieces. It's a tool that you need to learn to use. Another reviewer said something like "8 hours of failure was too much." (I had the same problem that he did. It was solved by changing the "Safe Retracts" setting in Fusion360.) If 8 hours of failure is too much for you, then this isn't the machine you want. To make this (or really any CNC machine) "work", you will need some basic understanding of G Code, 3D modelling, woodworking, and electronics. You don't need to be a master at any of this stuff, but you're going to touch all of it. It will take time. You will screw things up. You will get sawdust in your hair. That's what makes these things fun. Now, more specific to this machine itself, I was very, very impressed. There are many very similar units on Amazon, and I selected this one because of the included upgrades, and the known brand name. I found the machine to be extremely well built, and straightforward to assemble. The inclusion of limit switches is important. While limit switches can be a bit frustrating, they are there to make sure you don't accidentally send the machine a command that will damage it, and the work perfectly for that. I find the offline controller to be wonderful. There seems to be a lot of hate for this part, but I like that I can run he machine "headless" and not have to leave a laptop in my dust shop. I actually had a much smoother experience using the offline controller than I did using the PC-based Candle, but they both do the same job. My motor doesn't wobble, isn't loud, and hasn't had any issue cutting through various woods at 300mm/min. I did several calibration tests on the machine as soon as I got it built, and didn't have to adjust anything. The only bad things about the machine are the hold-down clamps that are included (they work, but are the definition of "fiddly"), the included Vee bits (again, they work as they should, but why give me a bunch of Vee bits and no end mill?) and the size of the workspace. The 3018 is actually a great size for a small workspace like mine, where it will need to be moved and worked around, but just like everyone else, I'd love to be able to make bigger stuff. I've probably said enough glowing stuff about this device, but I'll sum it up, here. When I spend ~$350 on a piece of Chinese technology that's based on open source designs, I expect to get a pretty low-end product that I can usually upgrade to make it useful. In this case, I got a solid, well-deigned, functioning piece of gear. I haven't been this amazed at how well a cheap gadget works since the Elegoo Mars Pro. If you're looking for a cool tool with a steep, but fun learning curve, look no further. If you want to easily and quickly cut wood (or metal) parts with the push of a button, maybe wait a few years. Software That I Used: -Candle (included) for machine control -Easel (very limited free use) for design and GCode Creation -F Engrave (free) for GCode creation -Carbide Create (free) for design and GCode Creation -Fusion360* (free) for design and GCode creation -Inkscape (free) for image design *Fusion360 is the real workhorse, here. It has by far the most features, but also the steepest learning curve. If you're familiar with Fusion360, you'll have no trouble. Otherwise start with Carbide Create. ... show more

    • The Sain Smart 3018 PROVer CNC
I've been looking at this CNC for months, comparing features and making sure I wanted to take the plunge and buy. Bought it just before Christmas. I noticed that the Amazon page says this machine is pre-assembled. The one I received was partially assembled and I had to attach the sides and gantry to the bottom frame. Putting this CNC together, if you've never done this before, should not be rushed. Take the time to make sure every part of the frame is square and nothing binds up when it moves. If you don't do this, you'll have problems, guaranteed. While a couple tools are included in the box, I would also recommend a straight-edge, a tape measure and some extra small zip ties. While the instructions can get you by for assembling this, there is at least 2 excellent videos on YouTube that will make the entire process much easier. There was a little learning curve in just figuring out what parts were called what. The video makes that pretty straight forward and also shows you some extras on how to calibrate and get the machine ready for your first cuts with CNC. For a CNC newbie (like me), there is a learning curve. Some would consider it steep, while others figure it out pretty fast. This unit, and larger CNCs use GRML as their operating system. It's not too complex but its also not obvious what each command does to the machine. There is a lot of GRML info on-line and the time spent there will move you closer to making life easier with the CNC. Sain Smart also maintains a Facebook group for users of the 3018 machines. Some of the people on that forum are experts and it's worth your time. If you're having an issue, you'll usually get a answer real quick. Lots of very helpful CNC users. I want to say something about the Customer Service part of this because it's worth mentioning. I had a small part fail on day 2 of using the machine. The customer service was quick to respond, we had a quick conversation and a new part arrived at my home within a week. So far, I've had nothing but positive communications with Sain Smart about my machine. Responsive customer service is one of the reasons I bought this version of the CNC. I would recommend this particular version of the 3018 CNC to anyone interested in learning CNC work. While there are many offered on the Amazon site, Saim Smart has a very good reputation and that makes a difference sometimes. Sain Smart put together a good package for sale and they offer a lot of options, upgrades and other items to keep your machine working all the time. Great way to learn CNC work. Price was right too! ... show more
