🧩 Navigate the exciting world of CNC-carved mazes in this detailed lesson! Kyle explores various methods for generating maze designs online, including creating custom shapes and different grid styles (hexagonal, square, circular). Learn the crucial steps to prepare downloaded maze vectors for machining, including separating open and closed vectors, removing duplicates, joining lines, and welding shapes. Kyle demonstrates how to set up toolpaths for both the maze channels and the overall profile, discussing considerations for ball size, material thickness, and adding features like recessed areas for plexiglass covers and integrated handles. Discover how to create perfectly fitting inlay pieces and master precision techniques for a smooth and fun game experience.
