M2 ASSEMBLY GUIDE

CALIBRATION & OPERATION

After the frame is built and the M2 is assembled, you are ready to use your new CNC!

Drew’s Note: To better understand CNC, we recommend reading through this whole section before

beginning the calibration process of the M2. This guide is for using standard bit diameters and does not

cover V-bit usage.

EXPERIENCED MASLOW USERS

This section will be covering calibration with Makerverse 1.0.6.

Check out

this

video on calibration!

You will have to set your Z Step Per Rotation to 472.5 for Easel, by inputing $102=472.5 in the console, the Z-axis

is already swapped. You will also have to measure your actual X/Y cuts, the distances between your motors, and

the distance from the chain to the wasteboard. The process is explained in the following calibration subsection.

BEGINNER TUTORIAL

To use your M2, you will need a digital file, CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software to create the Gcode

program the M2 will follow, and a machine control application to send the Gcode to the M2. Part 2 will explain

how to make a cut in Easel a Gcode generator. This tutorial will also show you how to use Makerverse, a machine

control software, with a digital .SVG file.

OPERATION & CALIBRATION PART 1: GET A DIGITAL .SVG FILE

1. Digital file:

You must have a digital file to CNC with the M2. We suggest a black and white SVG file. There are many files

available online and tutorials on how to create them on YouTube!

2. Create a file:

You can download an SVG file or create one yourself using

Inkscape

, found on your flash drive.

OPERATION & CALIBRATION PART 2: USING CAM SOFTWARE

1. CAM software:

We suggest using the CAM program Easel to create your Gcode. Create a free Inventables account and login

here

to use it and here is a link to our

EASEL Playlist!
