I want to make dog tags for my friends. I am playing in 3ds max but not sure how to export gcode. Anyone know how to export my drawing? Any info would be awesome.
I assume laser is out of the question, too expensive (correct me if im wrong!!)
I want to cut metal, im not sure how thick, please suggest a thickness and type of metal.
What CNC milling router setup would be the best? What model of machine? the setup would need to allow for detail routing for name and fine detail for maybe a image embossed on metal dog tag. What software package would you recommend?
I am looking for a reliable setup. Willing to spend a couple of extra bucks, Not sure if Harbor Freight CNC milling machine would cut it. (No pun intended.)
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
