Hey Inventables Forum!!
Hope I posted this is the right spot but just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Jake and recently bought and built my 1000mm x-carve.
Ive been silently stalking the forums to learn ahead of the build, and of course during the build and with my first few carves. I also want to say what a great place this forum has been, every time ive ran into a problem, ive been able to come and here and either find the answer or find something to point in the right direction.
So just wanted to stop and say hey and will be on here quite a bit as i get more in depth to this machine. But for now will post a picture of the x-carve built and one of my first cuts.
Thanks and see you around the forum!

Looks real good for your first carve.
Thanks again. It does have a little mishap, i didnt use my z probe to home for the detail run so it cut just a bit deeper than the rough run. But now i know better lol.

Welcome and very nice family carve! This is a great place to hang out and learn/share.
That came out great, if you’d like to add color in the future, use a vinyl masking roll first and cut out sign. Then spray paint any colors you want.

Armando that looks awesome!!! I’ll have to try the masking because i really wanted to paint the trees green, but was just filling in with a small paint brush.
