Using the CNC machine to print out a drawing was intimidating at first. The machine was huge and normally used with sharp blades. It actually reminded me of the first time I learned how to use a dough roller back at SAIT.
But after using it on my own for the first time, I realized it wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be.
Despite the overwhelming interface of the Mach4 software, it was a fairly intuitive machine to handle and truly was just like a larger 3D printer. I did run into a few problems, like my drawing coming out very small during the first run, but they were problems I managed to solve on my own using what I've learned about gcode from class.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to future projects that make use of the CNC machine again because of all the cool unconventional possibilities it holds.
