You are awesome Winston! I always look forward to your videos, you helped me and my wife a lot through the Shapeoko 2 build and programing as well as the team in IL, you're all great!. Hope to get a 3 sometime in the future.

Very well done. I can't grasp how the Z axis moves but it looks nice.

Dustin Penner If you look at the illustrations, it's a lot clearer. On the X-plate, there's a closed loop of GT2 belt, and the Z-plate basically grabs it with a non-rotating pulley. It's an interesting solution that doesn't really add any new parts to the bill of materials.

Another informative video...Thanks Winston. I bought a Shapeoko2 last year and made several upgrades, including Dewalt spindle and 1000mm Y-axis. Lately I have been considering the new Xcarve machine. Any thoughts on the advantages or significant differences you see between the Xcarve and Shapeoko 3? Thanks again!

john cooper both are improvements over the Shapeoko 2 design, and both in different ways. X-carve is better looking, has simpler parts (really love that X-carriage extrusion), but mechanically not a substantial improvement. If you're already using an S2 and happy, I think the X-carve upgrade is mostly cosmetic. By the same token, unless you think that you're pushing the limits of Makerslide (doing a lot of aluminum, or using really fast feeds), i wouldn't feel pressured to upgrade. S3 is more physically capable (strength wise), though not nearly as flexible in it's current iteration (I suspect once extra-long rails come out, the base frame will return to using something modular like 8020, but that is entirely a guess). Forgot to mention, but I finished the S3 build in an afternoon (suspect the X-carve would take about as much time, so they're on even ground there). I haven't played around with it enough yet to be able to present a review of the custom software and electronics integration, but it'll be coming in the next 2 weeks.

Winston Moy Thanks for the wisdom and your time. I think you have so many followers because of your unbiased commentary. I think your good work should encourage Edward Ford to help you get out of the carpeted apartment/condo and into at least a garage.....LOL.

Winston! great video. any idea on upgraded extrusion lengths, and expected lengths?

Jesse Graham The stock rails are 600mm, I would expect 1 m to be the next logical step and 0.4 or 0.5 m increments from there on, but I don't have any official info on that at the moment. When Edward catches up with the current batches I think he'll be able to give us more info.

What are the eccentric nuts for? Do they allow to tighten the bearing's tension or something? I have a hard time visualizing how it is used.
@WinstonMakes

+kwa Eccentric nuts are basically regular nuts, but the hole in them is off-center. When that hole is rotated, it moves the axis of the bearing wheels up or down to better contact the rails. bit.ly/1OHQwPL

Well I got mine mostly assembled but I'm confused on how to square it. Some advice would be nice thanks.
@WinstonMakes

theater40 The X-Y rails should be cut pretty close to perpendicular, so the main source of error you need to worry about is the base frame being square. Loosen all the straps/MDF panels half a turn and make sure the base isn't "parallelogram-ing" on you, then tighten it all back down. You can either use a square between the front base frame piece and MDF, or measure corner-to-corner distance.

considered modifying the belt drive to be similar to this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/sJqA1Yqeb3aDg3Ym4s or isn't belt stretch an issue?

Lasse Langwadt Christensen That's a really neat idea, one step removed from a straight up rack&pinion. Would give you better absolute accuracy but you'd need the right applications to make it worthwhile. A couple people have discussed simply using wider GT2 belting to reduce stretch. For my basic projects, it's probably a little overkill.
