¶ Machining process
1. Fix the Epoxy Tooling Board and the wasteboard to the table as shown in the figure. Align it to the L-bracket at anchor point 1.
2. Make sure the used milling bits are ready. No.1-3.175*25mm single flute spiral bit, No.2-30°0.2mmV-bit.
3. Turn on the power and wait for the automatic homing to complete.
4. Open the control software and connect to Carvera Air (please read Carvera Air instruction manual for detailed steps)
5. Open Root->Examples->Relief in the remote directory. Select the “PirateShip.nc” file.
6. Open the task configuration and operation dialog box.
7. Set working coordinate to X offset 3, and Y offset 3 relative to anchor 1.
8. Check the “Scan Margin” option.
9. Check the “Auto Z Probe” option, set the probe point to X offset 5, Y offset 5 relative to Path Origin.
10. Uncheck “Auto Leveling”.（ Because the material’s surface will be milled to a certain height, no need for automatic levelling detection）
11. Check the configuration according to the figure above and click Run, change the tools according to the controller software's prompt.（Please refer to Item 6 of “No UV solder mask”）
12. You can move the machine to the clearance position after the operation is completed to reduce the interference to subsequent operations.（Please refer to Item 7 of “No UV solder mask”）
13. Remove the epoxy tooling board and use the handsaw in the accessory kit to take out your work.
