Just found this “Carbide Create Shapeoko Basics - Part 1: Design // CNC Woodwork - YouTube ” from Myers Workshop. Looks I will be spending more time learning before I screw things up. First video I have seen that goes into the rudiments of learning Carbide. I do not have a Shapeako CNC, do have a Vevor 8080.

I’ve searched, honestly, but I still can’t find out if the importing of images is fixed, or I’m just doing it wrong.
Essentially, I drew around a spanner (wrench) with the intention of scanning it, editing the image in Affinity Photo, and then importing it as a background, to draw a vector over it, or as a vector.

Oh, and the stock size is …
I have a Shapeko XXL and I am very NEW. Basically I am having problems learning how to use Carbide Create. I watched videos but it’s not helping me with what I need to do. For example a basic triple Vine Monogram… I paid for the full vine alphabet off of Etsy. It came in a svg and dxf. Once I bring it up I can’t figure out how to edit it properly. I want to combine the fonts (3 letters) and I’ve deleted nodes but it’s still showing lines after deleting the nodes… ANY help or ideas would be great…
While Carbide Create has a number of stars available, some regular stars are not provided:

Fortunately, it’s pretty straight-forward to draw a regular star:
Draw a circle which is the size of the desired star:

Draw a rectangle which is taller than the radius of the circle and duplicate it:

Rotate each angle by either positive or negative:
360° ÷ number of sides/points (5) ÷ 4 == 18° (for a 5 pointed star)
and drag them into alignment at the top center node of …
If there’s something specific you’re having trouble w/, just ask and we’ll either find a suitable tutorial or make one.
