REMEMBER To Reserve Time!
Various tools such as the lasers (Epilog or Audrey), 3D Printers, and Forest CNC need to be reserved before using the tool. Review the Slack channel for the tool to reserve time.
- All 3D Printers (channel: mfx-3d-printing)
- Laser Epilog (channel: mfx-laser-epilog)
- Laser Audrey (channel: mfx-laser-audrey)
- Laser Boss 1630 aka Bruce (channel: mfx-laser-boss-1630)
- Forest CNC (channel: mfx-cnc)
Follow these steps to set the home position for your job. Think about how you have defined the job in VCarve Pro and set the home position to match that design.
