Making things that fit togetherLesson 14 of 16
Jig maker
Cut a board that holds the same parts in the same place every time.
Lay the products on the bed however they land, then find them with the camera or open their outlines.
Each pocket is the part plus a small gap, so it drops in and lifts back out.
Cut the board and keep it. The setup for that product is done.
Every setting
4What each number in the dialog means, and where it starts.
Room each part gets in its pocket, so it drops in and lifts out again.
Material left around the outermost part, so the board does not flex.
Pockets shrink by half of this, so they burn out on size.
Crosses in the border, so a lifted board lines up again.
What it is
Cuts a board with a pocket for every shape you picked, so the same parts drop in and engrave again without lining anything up. Select the parts first.
