This week, I used the cnc machine to produce this cute fox design! I used this design from the Noun Project (https://thenounproject.com/icon/fox-6359237/). After choosing my design, I used Carbide Create to create the file.

After creating the toolpaths and adapting the settings to match the wood and machine, I printed the foxes on the Nomad 3. After the foxes had successfully printed, I used the band saw the remove the tabs and extra wood. I sanded the foxes and added multiple coats of silver spray paint.

   

Final Design

I enjoyed learning to use the CNC machine and I love the way the foxes turned out. I am excited to try creating more intricate designs in the future.
