Recently I made the switch to a Mac computer at my workstation. Since I had to get up to speed on the slightly different way of doing things, new shortcuts, and slightly different operating system I decided I would pull out the stops and build a complex piece. Learning by doing is always the very best way. There was a bare spot in my library which I had long wanted to create a special display piece for. And I knew just what I was going to create.
It took four hours to create the routing files. The individual pieces filled one and a half sheets of Precision Board but they looked cool - even in the rendering. I worked in EnRoute and when I was done I could hit the render button for a preview of how it would look when done.
I set the MultiCam in motion. This was going to be cool! I could hardly wait for it to be done. The machine was making two passes - one rough pass and then a highly detailed pass with a 1/8" bit and a high overlap. It would take a while but the results would be worth it. Here's a shot as the rough pass was almost done...
While the MultiCam worked in it's special room I was busy in the shop doing other things. The MAGIC would take a little time. Stay tuned...
