No assembly required! The Othermill Pro includes the tools and materials you need to get started cutting 3D objects right away. It's one of Lady Ada's favorite tools, and we use one at the Adafruit factory every single day to prototype new designs, create testers, and experiment with fun new materials

The Othermill Pro is a portable, precise milling machine that allows you to create 2D and 3D objects out of durable materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic, using digital designs.

Please make sure you have a verified Adafruit account and enable two-factor authentication. I like to use a piece of paper towel over the material and apply an even amount of pressure so all of the tape adheres to the spoilboard.Please note! We are now requiring a verified account with two-factor authentication enabled in order to purchase certain high-demand products due to a large number of bot-purchasers making it difficult for Makers and Engineers to order these products. Square off the edges of the corner so they're both as flush as humanly possible. When you're ready to install the material onto the spoilboard, carefully position the FR-1 board over the lower left corner of the alignment bracket. This will get rid of any debris, grease or finger prints from the surface.

You'll want to wipe down the FR-1 board and the spoilboard with isopropyl alcohol with a paper towel. Since we're doing double-sided FR-1, doesn't matter which side you choose first. Do not overlap the strips or use too much as it will become difficult to remove. I use three long strips, evenly placed across the length of the board on the far top, bottom and middle section of the board. I use the wide version, which covers more surface area. Use double-sided scotch tape to secure the FR-1 board to the spoilboard. Once this is all setup, leave the alignment bracket on until the very end. Once finished, you can flip the end mill back and click Change under the tool section so the toolhead can probe the reinstalled tool by touching the spoilboard and automatically setting the z-axis offset. This is how the software maps out where the material is relative to the alignment bracket. Once installed it'll proceed to move the toolhead and probe the edges of the alignment bracket and set various offsets. It'll prompt you to flip your current milling tool so the blunt end can probe the spoilboard. The software will walk you through the process. Once installed, in the BantamTools software, click on the Locate button near the fixturing option in the configure sidebar. I suggest installing the alignment bracket before securing the material. This comes with the machine and is secured to the edge of the spoilboard with three screws. In order to cut precise double-sided boards, we need to install the alignment bracket.
