Maslow CNC Tutorial
In this tutorial we'll cut a Noisebridge sign designed in Inkscape.
Concepts
- Creating paths out of text objects
- Cut types
- Bit locations
- Z-axis and material depth
- Tabs and router bit width
Design
Use the text tool to write Noisebridge. Add a line underneathe with the line tool and surround it with a rectangle with the rectangle tool.
Select All and then go to Paths -> Object to Path. This will break each object up and create a set of paths. Paths are required for vector based plotter operations.
Once complete, save the drawing as a plain svg.
