How to Find and Download Your Project Files
Project files for each lesson are available directly within the course platform. Below is a guide to locating and downloading them.
Each module that includes project files will have a download section on the lesson page, typically located in the “Materials” tab on the module or lesson page.
Available file formats:
- SVG — Compatible with most CNC design software, including Easel, Carbide Create, and Vectric.
- C2D — Carbide Create project files, designed for Shapeoko and Nomad machines.
- CRV — Vectric project files, compatible with V-Carve Desktop, V-Carve Pro, and Aspire.
To download a file:
Click the download button next to the file you need. The file will save to your computer's Downloads folder. From there, open it in your preferred CNC design software.
Software compatibility guide:
- Easel — Import the SVG files directly.
- Carbide Create — Use C2D files, or import SVG files.
- Vectric (V-Carve, Aspire) — Use CRV files for the complete project setup, or import SVG files.
- G-code senders (gSender, Candle, UGS, etc.) — These applications are used to send G-code to your machine, not to open design files. You will need to open the project file in your design software first, generate your toolpaths, and then export the G-code for your sender.
