I’m pretty sure you can download part drawings and models from the store. If that’s what you are looking for

Not sure what you are asking either but if you want the design files on the X-Carve they are open sourced and linked to.  
but here is the link [A Fond Farewell to GrabCAD Workbench - GrabCAD Blog](https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbench/projects/gcl5zpCuwqCXWLvYktLQBc-2IHvossNo37ycTOkzg6gREW#/space/gcvs_XeRNVzNkfG_tFTAMd0C2lBbCsLcagOxXb1Jlki0kT/folder/957914)

The X-Carve is a fork of the Shapeoko 2 — this is documented at: [GitHub - shapeoko/Shapeoko\_2: Shapeoko v2 Official Release](https://github.com/shapeoko/Shapeoko_2) — there’s also a Solidworks version at: [https://github.com/shapeoko/Shapeoko\_2/tree/master/SolidWorks\_Project](https://github.com/shapeoko/Shapeoko_2/tree/master/SolidWorks_Project) and Autodesk Fusion 360 at: [Fusion](http://a360.co/1U9yxof) — there are a few more formats at: [Shapeoko CNC Router, Rigid, Accurate, Reliable, and Affordable](https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Parts#Source_Files) as well as notes on sourcing parts.

It’ll be easier to do a Shapeoko than an X-Carve, since the latter requires a proprietary extrusion for the carriage, while the former is just some plates, spacers and bolts.

spoiler alert: you’re already almost an expert on the subject due to your general CNC studies.
