Too much cheese said no one ever!
Hi Everyone!
For this week’s CNC project I decided to CNC Cheese blocks! I started by browsing nouns on the noun project and selected this icon. 
After sending my file to Carbide Create, I decided on various pocket and contour cuts, with the de
pth of pocket as 1-inch depth and contour as stock bottom. After preparing my file, I was ready to CNC. As the process started I had multiple failed attempts with the wooden block moving as the tape would not stick through because of the sawdust from the process towards the end when the contour started. I made sure to pause after every contour cut layer to secure the wood. I also faced issues with the machine where the probing would fail multiple timed but restarting the machine would fix that.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts I finally had cheese! To post process it, I sanded it with a 320 and then used a 400 grid orbital sander. I spray painted it yellow and finished it with a clear enamel spray.
