I finally got things in shape to run the new baby.

I started with the gSender surfacing toolpath. It ran fine, although the “time remaining” clock closed out when the job had 10 minutes remaining. I babied the Mk3 and ran at 5000 mm/min using the Sienci 22mm surfacing bit in the AutoSpin.

I guess the next step is to do something more interesting.

Please tell us that the more interesting thing to do involves a camera that you will aim at your new machine to snap a world of pictures for us to drewl over!

I never seen a mk3 in the wild. It feels like you are reporting you have a bigfoot as a pet. Can you at least post some vague pictures of it running towards the tree line of a dence forrest wearing a bunny suit while looking over its shoulder straight into the camera?

Grant!

@Spamming_Eddie You set a rather high bar there, SE. I will do my best to live up to your standards. So far, there is not much to see, but in the coming days, I will be adding bits and bobs. Stay tuned. (Now, the pressure is really on.)
