On August 2 we held a “Meet The Mill” event at Splatspace for the ShapeOko2 CNC mill/router which we won from Inventables. Inventables had sent us a set of aluminum and walnut bottle openers, and several members and non-members used the Easel design and toolpath software to design the engraving on their bottle openers.

 

There’s definitely a learning curve when it comes to optimizing bit size and type vs. the design so as to get adequate detail while minimizing milling time, and we made considerable progress during this event.
