I was thinking of ideas to make on the CNC machine and looking on Google. I saw a really cool-looking marble maze and decided that's what I wanted to create. I liked the idea of putting handles on the sides, and I realized that they would make it a lot easier and more fun to play.

I started by using the pen tool to trace my image. I started with the maze and then added all of the circles on the outside to hold the acrylic. Making the gaps between my lines big enough for the marble to fit through was challenging. I had to use the white arrow tool to make some of my anchor points wider, but in the end, I got them all to be more than a half inch.

I uploaded my finished Adobe design as a dxf and imported it into Fusion360. Next, I made a stock that was 14 x 26 in and extruded it -1 in along with my maze. Then, I extruded my lip for the acrylic down 0.125 in. Afterward, I started to make my 2D contours and 2D pockets. When I was finished with that I simulated my cut, and it looked good so I was all ready.

I clicked on the post process in Fusion and downloaded my file. Next, I emailed my file to makerspace@dawsonschool.org. I put green tape on my wood and on the table and glued the wood down. Then, I set the x, y, and z coordinates on the CNC computer and began to cut.
