Banggood 3018 Mini Cnc Router Kit Build, Test & Review

1. Finally trying to use my 3018 and following your instructions. All ok until setup. Status box just says connected…doesn't change when using jog. Zero buttons are greyed out and don't respond even though jog is working fine. Tried a basic shape from Easel. Machine works away as the instructions run down but it is nowhere near the workpiece. Help !

2. Hi! Can it engrave Rubber Stamp?

3. How much

4. Woooooooooow soooooooo goooooood

5. Thank you so much for this video. I never would have got this together without it!
   Mines a few years newer, but virtually the same. The instructions came on usb drive, but weren't even for this model, a completely different style.. lol
   Thank you so very much again for the very detailed directions!

6. Hello Sir, The Easel Software is Compatible or can use to any brand of Cnc laser machine?

7. Thank you for your video.
   I have 2 question

   Can İt engrave gemstone ?

   I thinking use it in my house.
   Does it work şilently ?

8. I have a similar machine with the exact same controller. It's difficult finding some of the functions, but you showed them well and now I shall install my end-stop limit switches!

9. Thank you very much! I made an informative choice buying this cnc kit after watching your video.

10. I still think this is a very good video!
    .
    it is a pity that the extreme is often expected from this machine,
    be satisfied with wood plastic and PCB.
    For metal you just have to buy another machine!
    (how hard is it to figure that out? it's a cheap machine!)
    take pleasure in that!

    Healthy and Friendly Greetings from the Netherlands!

11. Anyone else having problems getting the software to download? It's a zip file and windows is saying "It can't be downloaded securely".

12. I'm curious if this machine will cut 1/8" carbonfiber??

13. Same, thank you!
    Excellent video. So easy to follow and a pleasure to watch. I am new to CNC so knew nothing, you have covered everything to get people up and running, Banggood should be very grateful for your work. Thank you!

14. The machine will be universal soon

15. hi, thanks for the video.. i am wondering, how is this cnc for slow motion ? very slow motion, did you try ? thanks for your answer, it is important for me before i buy it

16. nice

17. Just bought one. Thank you!

18. Hey how much u setup rpm, feedrate and pass for cutting 5mm acrylic?

19. How would one map an existing part to reproduce?

20. Next day… got most problems resolved..BUT.. the “ manual” seem in this video…is not what I got!
    Basically all done except, fix the board to the frame and wire it up.
    However two problems. The booklet I got shows two different boards, one blue, one green. The board I got is blue…..but the layout is nothing like either of the other two! The board I have also caters for diode lasers
    The XYZ motor plugs on the board…are marked. .. for laser!
    The problem…the boards needs M3 screws to afix to the frame….none of the screws left over…are M3.
    I have M3…but no T nuts! Looks like its going to sit on the bench!
    Or so I thought, until I cam back to this video! There is nothing in the “assembly manual”!

21. This is an old video, but just had one delivered and started to assemble it.
    The fairly useless assemble “instructions” are pictures. And give measurements for the rails and where to place the bearings on the bed plate….all wrong. The two stepper motors have a rough “ engineered set of holes, four each M3 x 6 screws…which could not pass through the holder plate,…so resorted to drilling then out! Next, each motor is fitted via the adapter plate, to the frame using M5 x 10mm screws and T nuts….again I had to drill out the irregular almost oval hole.
    All that and incorrect measurements irritated me, I went into …sort it out mode and got things moving, but I imagine the confusion would really confuse a new first time buyer, having the benefit of assembling other machine “kits” from the online stores. Not really expecting it to get better when I go back to it tomorrow!

22. Hi, great video. I put the command code $3=5 and I only worked for axis y+ and y- , the others were not changed

23. how do you down load drivers for your machine

24. Whats is stepper moter model plz reply me

25. Write something about the parameters (feed rate etc.) for tools that you use. Especially for aluminium plz.

26. Valeu!

27. Great job on the video thanks so much

28. Very nice. I followed the steps you explained. Only problem I have: Z axis movement are reversed. Up is down and down is up. I tried playing with the $3 values, but no luck. Any advice?

29. Thank you for another excellent video. The million dollar question if I may. At roughly the same price which would be your first choice: this machine or the Genmitsu 3018 Pro? In making the purchase an upgrade to a 3040 would be a definite consideration. Any advice appreciated.

30. HI.. great video 😀 thanks…
    Can You maybe help me with one thing.. My 3018CNC was set ok with X,Y,Z axes, but I did insert $3=5 in the command line and all is reverted.. how can I change this back? I added again $3=5 but it did not help

31. can you use it on silver or gold?

32. Wow…that was waaaayy too complicated for me but I loved it…maybe one day I’ll be to understand it…thanks

33. they are a great little machine with a few cheap upgrades. i have one dedicated to milling timber fishing lure bodys with a diy 4 axis addon. cost $350Aud for the lot and i made my money back in a week selling a hand full of lures.

    it makes me $35 a hour

34. I have new controller card of CNC3018 mini(red color). how I can connect probe to new controller card.please let me know pins for probe in new card.2ndly I want to know, I have to enable probe option in program of not?

35. Could I use this to cut shapes from wood veneers, like I would a scroll-saw by hand?
