Well, I got power to her on Thursday and started familiarizing myself with Aspire on Friday. first thing I ran was this... My neighbor saw it this morning and it was game on!! She had to have a sign for her lake house!. So after a brief consult, this is what she wanted. Hers was 9 x 94 .... Took about 60 mins start to finish.

Awesome, just picked up a used Shapeoko 3XXL for a great price. Guess I need to start reading now.

Don't take this wrong, but shouldn't that sign read "sChitt's cReek lAkeside Pavilion"?

Aspire is great software. I have been using it for years now. Don't try to absorb it all at once. There are a lot of things you may never use.
I am still a novice at the 3D stuff. But, my machine cut 3D without problems.

With the flat pocket on your Goris cut. That must be a solid machine.
You should have moved the "r" and "i" a little father apart. That way your tool could cut between them.

If I can help with the learning curve for Aspire, let me know.

Its what the customer ordered.... Im not a fan. As for the first piece, I didnt care if it fit, I just wanted it to cut something!!! I went from unloading last week, wen ton vacation, home for a day, wired the cabinet, converted to single phase, installed Aspire , got it running and created a part. Although Im neither a newbie to CAD or CAM, just not Aspire.

I don't think Chris caught my humor in "Schitt's" most likely being pronunced as "Shit's" = "CRAP".
I had to change the Shanty to Pavilion. So that it had a "P".

My wife doesn't get my humor either.
