Hello all! Bought my first CNC machine in December 2022 but just getting around to posting in this thread. My name is Chris and I'm a U.S. Marine vet with a passion for learning new things, especially tech. I've been designing in Fusion360 for a couple years now and got into FDM 3D printing about a year ago. I watched nearly every video and ready countless hours of content on CNC Routers for beginners before I purchased. It gave me the confidence to make my first CNC Router purchase.
I built the machine over Christmas/New Years break and now things are going smoothly. I'm designing in the personal use version of Autodesk Fusion360 (via my Mac) and using my Raspberry Pi (v4) with the free Universal Gcode Sender (UGS) platform to control and send operations to the machine. Also hooked up a wireless XBOX 360 controller to the Pi and that's made life a little easier since my router is at the other end of my garage. I'm excited to combine the 3D printer capability with the CNC Router capabilities to make some really cool stuff. I'm making it a goal this year to become more proficient in GCode and also improve my skills in the Manufacture module of Fusion360.

Hello,
I am about to order my first CNC. I'm going with the Carve King 2. I am a hobbiest, but hope to do a little side hustle to pay for this wonderful hobby! LOL I am an RN/RCIS and travel around the country training staff in the Cath/EP lab on my employers equipment. I have been doing 'wood working' for a couple of years. I am going with Ventric Desktop as the software of choice. I'm looking forward to reading through the forms and seeing everyone elses work. Have a good weekend.
