Idea! -->3D model -->Does it (and the clamps needed to make sure it stays still while machining) fit in the machining box (xyz)? -->Availability/cost of raw material and cutting tools -->CAM/G-code generation -->Double-check that your depth of cut, feeds, and speeds are appropriate -->Cutting simulation to make sure the machine does not crash the cutter into something it should not cut -->Cut raw material to size (on bandsaw or other device) and where applicable ”square” corners -->Attach cutter and clamp squared raw material -->Put on your safety glasses, double check you don’t have any loose hair, clothes, jewelry that can get caught in the machine -->Turn on HackCNC power and load program in linuxcnc -->Make sure you and the HackCNC agree where 0 is for the xyz axis! -->Run the first pass in the air above the z axis with your hand on the e-stop and verify spindle coolant flow -->Cut your parts! -->Lather/rinse/repeat as necessary with other cutters until we acquire an automatic tool changer | Idea! -->3D model -->Does it (and the clamps needed to make sure it stays still while machining) fit in the machining box (xyz)? -->Availability/cost of raw material and cutting tools -->CAM/G-code generation -->Double-check that your depth of cut, feeds, and speeds are appropriate -->Cutting simulation to make sure the machine does not crash the cutter into something it should not cut -->Cut raw material to size (on bandsaw or other device) and where applicable ”square” corners -->Attach cutter and clamp squared raw material -->Put on your safety glasses, double check you don’t have any loose hair, clothes, jewelry that can get caught in the machine -->Turn on HackCNC power and load program in linuxcnc -->Make sure you and the HackCNC agree where 0 is for the xyz axis! -->Run the first pass in the air above the z axis with your hand on the e-stop and verify spindle coolant flow -->Cut your parts! -->Lather/rinse/repeat as necessary with other cutters until we acquire an automatic tool changer | ||
