Desktop Mill Sword Logo

For this challenge I was tasked to look for a symbol/logo on google, insert it into Fusion 360, plot the points of the logo and write the G-code for the mini mill to draw.

I spent little time looking for a logo because once I saw the swords I knew the complexity of it would be just right for this project.

I saved the image to my computer, inserted it into Fusion and made a 5x5 plane for my boundaries and started plotting. Once I was done plotting I opened the notes app on the computer, gave the document a title and added some G-codes before my first line of code. I added G00 to program a rapid movement, G17 to activate the XY plane, G20 to specify inches as my measurement, G55 to tell the machine what offset I'll be using, X0 and Y0 to have the machine go to my offset I've set. After putting these in on the next line I added G43, H1 and Z1. G43 applies the tool offset I set, H1 tells the machine to use the tool offset I set, and Z1 programs the spindle to start 1in above the part. After inserting all these I started my first line of code. When I finished my code I reviewed all the sections and decided it was good to run, when I ran it I had some issues.
