VCarve Pro

Makerspace Edition

The computer connected to the router has VCarve Pro Makerspace Edition installed. Members can install the free VCarve Pro Makerspace Client Edition on their own machines. The client edition lets you do everything the Makerspace Edition except saving toolpaths. Just save your work to a flash drive and save the toolpath when you are at the makerspace.

How to Use

We are not going to reinvent the wheel. Vectric has a lot of informative VCarve Pro videos on their site. Beginners must watch The Basics and finish the rest as needed.

Configuration

Our router is configured to use the long side as the X-axis (landscape mode). This way, when you are standing in front of the computer screen but facing the machine, the X-axis goes left to right, Y-axis goes from nearer to farther as expected. The machine homes on X-min and Y-min.
