Maslow CNC Tutorial

In this tutorial we'll cut a Noisebridge sign designed in Inkscape.

Concepts

1. Creating paths out of text objects
2. Cut types
3. Bit locations
4. Z-axis and material depth
5. 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.
