Just pulled the trigger on an Shapeoko XXL!

After a year or so of using my Nomad883 Pro and learning as much as I could about CAD/CAM, It was time to get a larger machine. I hope that the assembly is not that difficult and that I dont screw something up. I have been following the thread about Carbide 3D’s new probe and was wondering when that will become available? I am also quite sure that this question will not the last ones I will be asking!

I’m sure the shapeoko faction of our extensive family will be happy to help you :slight_smile: I’m not likely to ever get a shapeoko, but then again, I did just get a tax return that would easily cover the cost… hmmmmmmmm

Grats Craig! It wasn’t too hard to assemble. Lots of resources and help here. Just don’t fly through it and it’ll be fine.

I started with an SO2… Assembly was long and challenging. The SO3 assembly is a dream in comparison, it’s pretty straight forward. You’ll do great. Congrats and welcome!

Welcome ! Great forum and has been a big help to me on my new Shapeoko setup, etc.
