 with this CNC machine here we do have a dremel tool for it but we don't have the tip for it right now so right now we're just using a pen strapped to it with rubber bands had some semi successful passes here text worked out well tux could have gone a little bit better but you can tell it's him so full disclosure we really don't know what we're doing here and the way I made these was I got the images or fonts in gimp and then I converted them to paths and export them as SVGs and then we're using jscut.org a website to convert that to gcode and then we're using a program you can find on github called universal can you click on our CNC software universal gcode sender universal gcode sender and it's connecting to it over usb but a usb to serial and this is a Shapo co and I guess the software carbonite no no this is not sponsored the software on the controller for this is gerbil gerbil is how we're saying it we know if that's actually how you say it pretty sure that's how it's so it's gerbil and so basically the software is universal software across platform that allows you to work with those controllers so we're just playing around with this all right I think we have enough lift it's a floppy disk being a little more ambitious with our artwork this time around our depth my even a little bit off so Andrew's holding the papers still for us trying to compress it a little bit too stuff that doesn't happen it's gonna come out more like an interpretation of an art piece well it's complete little disappointing what it looks like what it's supposed to look like it looks like what it's supposed to look like but again this is more how we're not knowing how to do things properly and not necessarily the stuff we're using well go number three on the dragon it's definitely going much better than the first one and a half tries basically just moving the pen up a little bit so it wasn't dragging so much on the paper it allows the pen to to move a little freer yeah so this is this is the first go with a few extra lines on testing stuff over it but you can definitely see a lot of dots there where we're actually getting little shapes here for the scale so our cnc print of a Chinese dragon attempt number three went pretty good we lost some detail up here just because the wood wasn't completely flat that we have this laid on so the pen was missing a few spots but there we go it is doable with little knowledge
