Compared with the old version
- Add the function of X/Y/Z axis limit switches,optimized the XYZ limit port and the port connected to the device,making wiring and operation easier.After installing the limit switch, when the XYZ axis moves beyond the travel of the engraving machine, the limit switch will trigger the machine to automatically stop the movement.
- Add the function of emergency stop button,this function can be used when an emergency stop is required at work, making our work safer and more efficient.
- Add the power button switch and move the power switch button from the bottom to the side,simple operation,more safety in the process of using the machine.
Advantages
- Add emergency stop button port, probe port and XYZ limit port.
- Add the outer casing: protect control board in transit,to avoid short circuit problem during use;
- Add the power button switch;
- Cancel the drive module,use integrated imported stepper motor drive,with short circuit protection,and integrated heat dissipation aluminum alloy;
- Add the fan port to force heat dissipation;
- Add offline recognition,can insert offline modules and computers at the same time.Offline will automatically identify if there is computer control.
- Enhanced spindle drive,can support 20000rpm spindle.support more powerful spindle.
- Improved USB interface: the original USB interface is patch soldering, transport collision and improper use, easy to drop, now changed to plug-in, very strong;
- The spindle drive increases the optocoupler isolation, which makes the control board generate less heat, and the spindle speed adjustment is more linear and safer.
Support two engraving methods
The control board support two engraving methods,our package comes with a spindle motor but without the module in the picture above.
Q&A

A: Wood, acrylic (acrylic), pcb, pvb, soft metal, iron, glass, stone etc.
Q: What thickness of wood or acrylic can generally be cut by module?
A: 3-5mm wood board (acrylic), speed setting 100, power setting 1000;
Multiple cuts can cut 12mm wooden boards by spindle.
Applications
- CNC 3018-PRO-MAX Mini CNC machine small size, light weight, USB interface, GRBL control systems, great cnc router machine for beginers;
- 3018-PRO-MAX cnc machine is very easy to install,stable structure.
- Main application:can be engraved plastic, wood, acrylic, pvc, pcb, wood and the like material;
- soft metal like copper and aluminum and other materials, but can not carve hard metal, jade or other very hard texture of the items.
- if you change the spindle to a 3pins module,also can carve the kraft paper, wood, leather(wallet), bamboo.
Q&A
- Q: The X,Y and Z axis of the machine cannot be moved,what should I do?
- A: First check whether the wires are correctly connected, whether the power switch of the control board is pressed, and then check whether the coupling is off.
- Q:What should I do if the control board cannot be connected?
- A:Exit the software, unplug the wire, and reconnect it. Or update the firmware.
- Q: How to modify the parameters when the limit switch is activated?
- A: Enter 21=1 and 22=1 commands.
- Q: The engraved image is reversed,what should I do? A: Enter 3=2 or RST=*command

Keeping in mind the size and power limit the work you can do, this is a remarkably solid little unit. More for carving/engraving and some "Light" mill work & routing. I found the assembly easy and had it running within a couple of hours. The software is crap (but I knew that going in) but there is plenty of good, free software out there that make getting started straight forward. More advanced Mill/routing work will have a steeper learning curve but that's in the CAD/CAM software, not the unit. The unit I got didn't come with a Z probe or limit switches (I knew that when I ordered) but the driver board is set up to accept them. I recommend adding the, I did. The newer Woodpecker 3.4 control board is not set up to receive an E-stop switch which it should (the older Cronos Maker board was so equiped). I'll wire mine into the DC Power line. A fair amount of upgrades are available but the base unit, as delivered, is solid. Plenty of You Tube tutorials for this unit are out there, Which I found to be of great help. All in all, Very satisfied.

I bought this machine for the sole purpose of cutting a particular shape out of anodized 1/32 thick aluminum sheets.When the machine arrived, one of the stepper motors was defective and did not have enough torque to move the lead screw. After contacting support, they were able to assist and I was up and running! If you are cutting metals, the v bits that come with the machine are not going to get you very far. After some research, I got some up cut endmills that cut the aluminum, but broke very quickly. After more research into feeds and speeds and adding some oil to the surface of the aluminum, I am getting successful cuts without breaking bits!A few things to help get started with the machine! You are probably going to break a lot of bits starting out, so be prepared to budget for this and maybe start with some cheaper endmills before dropping a lot of money on the high end stuff.You will need a spoil board under your project if you are cutting all the way through. You can 3d print something to work if you have access to a 3d printer, or you can use wood. Of using wood, make sure it is flat, or mill it flat after installing.Go slow. The spindle in this machine is mounted with an injection molded plastic part that has a single screw to tighten the spindle into it. This piece will flex with enough resistance and ruin your project if your feeds and speeds are not right.Be patient. This machine is not an industrial machine at all, but rather an intro into the world of CNC milling. There are going to be ways to upgrade it with a better spindle, an offline controller, etc, but try using the machine as is before dumping extra money into upgrades that may not net the results you need.

So this took me a bit to figure out. My y axis motor would randomly get stuck. Here is my suggestion. Use the software/offline controller and find the exact spot where the center holding rail clamp (not exactly sure what it's called) gets stuck or you hear/feel vibrations. Move only in 0.1 inch incremented while doing this. Place your fingers up against a slightly loosened clamp and find where your fingers pressure causes the greatest reduction in noise/vibration. Tighten the center while applying the pressure then place some oil on the rail.Easel is a great starter software. Also the manual does not say what should be the x-axis, y-axis and z axis motors. The board has the labels but the motors do not. This confused me because I have several machines at my job where these are arbitrarily defined.The spindle moving up and down is the z-axis, the spindle motor moving left/right is the x-axis and the plate moving forward/backward is the y-axis. The starting blades will wear fairly quickly (about 16-24 projects worth of sharpness assuming 9" x 3" x 0.75" pine/walnut) this device is not accurate enough to leave cuts in wood less then ~1/10th (upgrade a motor to a higher spindle speed and better bits to attempt higher accuracy, grain placement/direction also affects results)Clean the rails between each project. Lots of sawdust and very small grinding without oil causes the rails to get stuck.

Va bien para arrancar, si querés algo que corte en profundidad, que no se vaya a trabar porque querés trabajos más grandes, entonces no es esta la máquina para vos. Si para tallado, corte de piezas no tan anchas y trabajos lentos, con paciencia

All is good except for the z axis linear bears a sloppy causing poor resultsUpdate after further inspection supplied collet was junk router bit was way off adding further to the poor results.

First CNC I’ve ever had too. But this machine preformed like I wanted it to. And it was easy to use. Easel worked great.

Trabaja de maravilla a la hora de diseñar tarjetas de PCB, si acaso la única recomendación es que el soporte del eje Z tenga el tope adecuado para la tuerca anti retroceso para evitar movimientos que alteren el movimiento del ya mencionado.
