Can someone please walk me through how the heck to use my X-carve 1000mm to carve a basic 3D carve just so I can get the hang of it? I can read all kinds of stuff but I am way better when I can get someone knowledgeable to actually show me. ---

I’ve only used Easel Pro. I’ve only been carving for about 7 months now. ---

Easel does not do 3D. The machine can do 3D with the use of another program for your design work. ---

Yeah I’ve read that multiple times. I just need someone to walk me through which program I should use that works best and how to use it. ---

Nobody can really show you. A 3d drawing program has a learning curve itself. Pick a 3d drawing program and learn how to use it. Once you have a 3d object drawn, then you would convert that to Gcode and import it into Easel to cut out. I started out on Rhino3d because it was " the" program at the time. Fusion360 seems to be that program today. There are others to choose from. So I draw in Rhino and use Meshcam to create the Gcode. I use the Gcode sender with my Xcarve to make the parts. Here is a thread in another forum that you can see part of the process: [1963 Vox Shadow Inspired Budget Build | Telecaster Guitar Forum (tdpri.com)](https://www.tdpri.com/threads/1963-vox-shadow-inspired-budget-build.952604/) ---
