After the first test, I wanted to do my first special part...
But before, as you have number for tools when you prepare the work, I went to makerworld and found a perfect storage for the tools to be used in a work...

Next was to deal with some headhache : fixing a 300x200 fiber carbon plate on the CNC bed.
It's easy to position and do not pose any issues with the sensor for the Z probe. But fixing will require either custom made fixture or double face tape with strong tack. That's what I opted for. For the story, I consider doing a cut and some holes on this plate to fix it (the rear end of the Carvera Air can be opened to allow a cut on a long plate). At the end, double face tape is easy and convenient.

In the package, I did not find any drill bits (that something I'll have to supply). To overcome this, I considered a hole is a pocket and used for that a 2mm corn bit which will be also used for the countours. And I planned for the Chamfers before the outside countour... I already cut a fiber glass chassis at the fablab, but it was without the Carvera and using another software... But at the end it is not that different. I included tabs, but at the end they were useless since the double face was doing the job perfectly (I did add operations after the part was cut to remove the tabs).

I can say this is a success, hopefully the next work will be as successful...

I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them :-)
