Waste Board Kit Contents

I opted not to order the waste board to cut shipping costs as well. Thinking it was just the MDF and the inseertion nuts. Would not have made the same choice if I had the information above. Being able to order the hardware without the MDF board would be a nice option.

After we ship the backlog we will look into adding a module for hardware without the MDF board. Until then you can order the parts listed above in the normal part of our online store.

Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I would like to avoid an unpleasant surprise.

These are additional items I will need to order since I am making my own wasteboard with locally sourced 1/4-20 inserts, correct? Can this be added to my pending order (placed may 6 ) or would it need to be a separate order?

IF it were me, I would get in touch with customer service to handle this. Go to the main page and click on the cart, the email and phone number of the team that handles this is listed at the top. I have always had excellent service and a fast response this way. Good luck !

After finding this thread and reading what Zach had posted, and getting a little worried since I too had opted not to order the waste board for my 1000mm kit, I contacted the Inventables EXCELLENT customer service via email (help@inventables.com), and received the reply below. They were able to add this to my existing order, and were very prompt in their responses. Hope this helps someone else.


We have made changes to the kits since Zach
posted that answer. We made the brackets and extrusions part of the rail kit.
If you plan to make your own Waste Board we have put together the following
information for your review.

  1. The engineering files for the 1000mm board (A Fond Farewell to GrabCAD Workbench - GrabCAD Blog)
    and silk screen file (http://bit.ly/1Ho03vw)

  2. You’ll also need the hardware that comes in the kit
    a. 144 threaded inserts, 2 bags of part #30517-01 (http://bit.ly/1DDUIxA)
    b. 14 pre assembly insertion nuts, 2 bags of part#25281-02 (http://bit.ly/1J2ORGF)
    c. 14 Button Head Screws M5 x 20, 2 bags of part #25286-15 (http://bit.ly/1qjpJQi)

I got in touch with Paul Stolz in customer service via e-mail and was also able to add to my order the insertion nuts and button head screws need to attatch my shop made waste board.

I’ve said it before and it never seems to get old, Inventables service is top notch, A1, superb, incredible, etc, etc, so on and so forth. BTW did I say how great they were? :laughing:

Has anyone been able to access these files?

Zach,
I ordered the 1000x1000 X-carve without wasteboard, but added the following items to my order:
M5 threaded inserts (two of the 100-packs), T-slot nuts (two of the 10-packs), and button head caps (two of the 10-packs).
My question is, will the entire order ship out at the same time, or can I possibly expect the wasteboard parts to ship first? I already made the wasteboard, just needing the inserts to get a little further along in the build process. Sorry is this has been asked previously…I’ve been scanning the forum for the past 3 months and don’t recall seeing this question posed.

mine came at the same time

@Tarry_Brindle I ordered the 1000x1000 without the wasteboard and all the parts where shipped at relatively the same time

@Tarry_Brindle I just looked up your order and you have 3 boxes. 2 shipped and the M5 threaded inserts (two of the 100-packs), T-slot nuts (two of the 10-packs), and button head caps (two of the 10-packs) did not ship yet.

I assume it will ship this week but I need to verify with the warehouse manager.

Thanks Zach, I really appreciate the update!

@Tarry_Brindle your other package will ship today.

Awesome, thanks again Zach!

I still can’t get over the fact that a CEO of a company (big or small) is willing to update a forum with status of a single item shipping in a single order and not just push it off to someone in the shipping department.

Well done @Zach_Kaplan and well done Inventables.

@Zach_Kaplan and the rest of the inventables teams input in the forums was what made my decision to go with an x-carve over other cnc’s so much easier.

The support and assistance has been world class.

Any chance of selling inventables or “made with my x-carve” stickers in the future?

Guess I might have to blow the dust off of my die cutter. Been a while since I’ve cut some stickers…

I’m with JK on this… It would be helpful if instead of all of the disparate topics relating to this, Inventables posted up a sticky thread on the forum with info on how to make your own waste board, all of the graphics and files needed, and a complete list of extras you will need to connect your home made waste board to your X Carve (as well as a kit of all of these parts in the ‘Configure your X Carve’ section).

The shipping cost to Australia makes buying a pre-made waste board in no way affordable, so Inventables support in creating your own is absolutely necessary.
