I tried to show every details, all the tricks and tips that I know about this machine:
- Assembling the kit
- Testing the hardware - correcting axis direction
- Quick guide to 3D CAD design with Fusion 360
- Setting up the CAM for the part
- Export to Gcode files
- Using Gcode sender - GRBL controller/Candle
- Setting up CAM process for STEP and STL files using fusion 360

- Touch probe
- firmware update
Happy milling!!!
