Setting up the maslow as a machine

Use these settings for the Maslow as a machine. You need to do this so that tools setup for your machine are saved for the maslow, and not the ooznest.

Sheet setup

Use these settings on the left hand side to setup the work area. Choose your own sheet dimensions, sheet depth and material. We are using 9mm full sheet of MDF. There's no real reason not to use a full sheet. You must click OK before you can import.

Importing DWG/SVG etc

Click the import option. If it is greyed out, it is because you have not clicked OK for the sheet material section.

Occasional errors

If you get this, ignore.

once imported, it'll look something like this, but with your design.

Show Toolpaths

Click "toolpaths" and select the "show toolpaths tab"

and select profile toolpath
