The Inventables Carvey 3D Carving Machine is the opposite of a 3D printer. It creates its designs by removing (subtractive) excess material from the source material to reveal your design instead of depositing it on a surface (additive) like a 3D printer does. This means you can have stronger parts, transparency and use a much wider variety of materials. We create 3 custom Fidget Spinners with no prior experience using the Easel application from Inventables and it’s easier than we thought! Expand for links, information, and Q&A. This is not a paid review, I don’t do paid reviews.

Questions & Answers
Q – Why don’t you just 3D print the Fidget Spinners?
A – You totally can 3D print Fidget Spinners, they just won’t be as durable or transparent but you can much more sophisticated designs. I recommend every maker invest in both a CNC Router & 3D Printer and use them together for best results.
Q – Can you cut at different depths to give a 3D effect like carving out a face?
A – Yes, as long as the design doesn’t have overhangs you can cut varying geometry.
Q – Can you stack together cuts and build more complex things?
A – Yes, you can print out layers and glue them together to build bigger complex items.
Q – Why did you get the Carvey when you have an X-Carve?
A – The X-Carve was just to big for my little space and to messy, the Carvey is a much quieter and cleaner machine.
Q – How do I create & submit a fidget spinner?
A – the instructions at
