Drawings/Ideas
Here is my original idea the multiple paths going every which way was very confusing for Fusion 360 to understand, so I made a simpler one and Fusion 360 understood it perfectly. It might have been a me mistake while designing the maze on Inventor or Fusion 360. My original design was based off of the the maze to the left. I really like the idea of having my initials in the maze.

Recipe of Completion
First off, I modeled the maze in Inventor then uploaded it to Fusion 360, but after struggling with all the tool paths being created. I decided to design a new maze in Inventor and then uploaded it to Fusion 360, this time it worked with all the paths cut out perfectly. Then I changed the settings to be what is on the sheet that was handed out; the size of the bit, the speed, and the x, y, and z planes.
Final Project
What I Learned
Throughout the design and completion process I learned that the paths all need to be designed as one extrusion instead of multiple different extrusions. Also, the way to zero the CNC Router was new to me and took a little bit to learn it. Plus adjusting the laser settings was new to me and remembering to use stroke instead of fill this prevents your foam from melting.
