Carving with multiple machines

In our school makerspace we have multiple carvey machines. Currently students use their own laptops and accounts to carve, but run into issues when a longer carve goes past the end of the period.

I’d like to move to one mini PC that is attached to two (or more) Carvey…A student could log in and carve on Carvey 1, then another student could login on another window and carve on Carvey 2.

Is that possible? How have others managed multiple machines?

With everything i have read on here you can not run 2 machines with 1 computor. I could be wrong but i am sure someone with more info will chime in.

Aren’t you running the multiple Carveys with multiple PCs? What is the advantage to running from one PC? I’m guessing you want to use one account so that all of the designs stay private and the kids won’t get confused which Carvey account has which designs. Does Inventables block you from logging into one account from two machines at the same time?

No.

Multiple computers.

Look into some cheap Windows tablets for the sole purpose of running the machine.

Ask student’s parents to donate old laptops???:thinking:
