The CNC Router is a computer commanded tool that cuts mathematically perfect shapes for projects, especially larger projects.
The first step was making the inventor version of this project, as shown below.
Next I converted the software into something the Router can read.
Orienting it was difficult for me. I was reading the picture wrong.
Orienting it was difficult for me. I was reading the picture wrong.
Then I had to play with the settings to get it ready to print.
Then it showed me a preview of how it would cut.
Then I had to upload the files and orient the maze.
Finished Project
In this unit I learned mostly about using this particular machine. I mostly understand Inventor at this point. A lot of what I learned was about how much less complicated these projects are then I assumed. I had a hard time with it because the demo was a few days before I got to use the machine, I didn't take note (hindsight is 2020), and I couldn't see the computer screen from where I was standing. It was difficult, so I only learned the most basic parts of this machine, but it was definitely a new experience.
