    Im thinking about investing in carveco. I use open builds control and black box.

    Anyone out there use this combo? will their standard gbrl post work ok?

    Best would be to ask the Carveco guys if they have a Grbl 1.1 compatible post processor? gnea/grbl
    As they control what their software will work with

    Hi Baum. I've got this same question. Were you able to find out anything?

    The Open Builds CONTROL application advertises Carveco directly within the software, so I would hope it works seemlessly ;)

    Hi all, hopefully you have managed to get it working, if not we can make post modifications to get it running, we are not aware of any issues running GRBL1.1 but if anyone finds any please drop us an email at [email protected]

    In the 27 years we've been going we have only ever found 3 machines difficult to run and with the exception of 1 we have managed to get the other 2 running fine. So any issues or updates anyone here spots let us know.

    Interestingly I noticed the other day that there is a link to Carveco on OpenBuilds control so that has to be a good sign.

    It says they support GRBL.
