Hi, I set my machine up in late 2025 and I can’t get to step one. Looking for someone cool in the Dexter Mi area who could help me on my feet, pay, or use of my machine. I’m a wood worker but also own a cannabis brand and would really like to learn how to make signs for my customers here in my shop. All help is appreciated.

Please note that a new machine includes 4 training sessions — have you worked through them? Note that additional sessions may be purchased: One-on-One Training Session (30 Minutes) - Carbide 3D
Usually, if folks go through:
and/or:
https://carbide3d.com/hub/courses/jumpstart/
and use those sessions to fill in the gaps, things fit together well.
In addition, there are the community resources:
(esp. note that there is a Glossary there)
and for Carbide Create:
(there’s also a page on Carbide Motion, but no one ever reads it all the way through)
Lastly, I walked through a project at:
Which machine? And where are you stuck? Is the machine assembled & running? can you initialize it? Are you stuck with designing & getting programs to the machine?
I’m on the other side of Detroit, in Algonac. Go through the training sessions & the CNC A to Z, and if you’re still stuck then, I can arrange a time to stop out.
It would help ( as asked above) if you simply explained to us what your definition of “Step one” actually is?
