Shapeoko + EASEL Milling using Meshcam‘s 3D GCode @shapeoko

Via Jessica Hogan on Medium, posted to help anyone use the CUC Fab Lab’s shapeoko milling machine for single sided milling.

My end result is a wooden button that I designed using Tinkercad’s free 3D design software. I designed it to be simple, small, and quick to demonstrate the process.

I realized after the button was milled that I didn’t include the holes in my gcode-derp! I manually drilled the holes with the shapeoko but if you want to include them in your gcode, make sure you click on the very bottom icon in Meshcam to adjust.
