Now granted I didn't do anything but use one of the pre made 3-D models that came with it.
But it was basically a Plug - N - Cut operation.
Now, keep in mind this is all a first for me. I have never used a CNC machine before, I have never opened or played with Aspire before (didn't have time till today). And this is the first run on my new Bot (less the dust collector, I just couldn't wait anymore and it was just pink foam)..
So any and all reviews are welcome.
Anyway:
Import 3-D image from the 50 that come with Aspire.
Place in desired location on work piece
Size and check thickness.
Convert to vectors (the little birdie icon in the drawing tools)
Check thickness again in the Componet manager under set exact size.
Select vectors
Toolpath 1/8 Ball Nose
CUT
Wait
DONE !!!
Keith you can do the flag box it's easy !!!!
