⚙️ Ready to make your CNC clock stand out? In this advanced lesson, Kyle builds on last week's basic clock design and shows you how to create a gear-themed CNC clock using Vectric software! Learn how to use the Gear Maker gadget to generate layered decorative gears, apply circular copy tools for symmetry, adjust vectors using node editing, and layer toolpaths for a 3D effect using only 2D tools. You'll also explore techniques for making the numbers stand out by pocketing around them and preview multiple toolpath strategies. This creative lesson helps you build clocks that look like mechanical works of art—no real gear movement required!
