Workshop - CNC Engraving for Beginners - Thursday 21st March

[Dan Spencer]

Hello! 

I'm running a Workshop aimed at complete novices to the world of CNC.

Ever fancied using the CNC Mill but not sure where to start? This is the workshop for you :)

Due to the nature of the content I'm limiting the attendance to 3 people per workshop. 

Just because I'm planning on doing these adhoc, as they fit into my schedule, I won't keep a waiting list as its an additional admin task to contact people on the list first each time I want to put a Workshop on, hope you understand. 

It will be a First come, First Served system for each date. There will be a few of these workshops running, so don't worry too much if you don't get a space on this particular one! 

The workshop will last about 3 Hours and will cost £20 cash per person, paid on the night. 

(£10 to cover materials and my expenses and £10 goes directly to the Hackspace.)

Please bring with you:

- A Notepad

- A Pen 

- A Laptop that has access to the Hackspace WiFi (We do have two PCs available in the Blue Room that are perfectly capable if you don't have a laptop)

- A USB drive

You will be learning:

How to write very basic GCode manually

How to use a computer to generate engraving toolpaths

How to set up the CNC machine

How to run a CNC Program

Here are some examples to show you the kind of project you'll be working on. 

Whatever you produce will be yours to take home. 

 

This Workshop will be: 

7pm-10pm -  Thursday 21st March

Meeting in the Blue Room 

Please RSVP to this email if interested. :)

The workshop will go ahead if at least 2 people are coming. 

Thanks, 

Dan
