๐Ÿฆ Design and carve unique stacked birdhouses with your CNC! This lesson explores creating various birdhouse styles using multiple stacked pieces, perfect for customization. Learn foundational design techniques including using the draw circle tool, applying offsets for layers, and precise node editing. Discover how to efficiently duplicate and arrange parts using array copy (both linear and circular), and employ the mirror tool for symmetrical designs. Kyle guides you through generating essential toolpaths like pocketing for recesses and entrances, v-carving for details, and profiling for cutting out parts. Master tips for optimizing tool database settings, achieving clean cuts, and assembling your birdhouse with glue, screws, or dowel pins for a sturdy finish.
