What endmill and speeds did you run the job with?

That looks awesome! I ran some milling on ChiliPeppr today with acrylic and it worked like a charm. Your aluminum looks great. What machine and spindle are you using? No heatsinks on the TinyG?

Some aluminum milling bit and ran it pretty slow 200mm/min or something like that. .45mm pass rate. My spindler is a Makita RT0701c.

Single flute?

@jlauer no this was a super quick setup. In fact my tinyg was not even mounted. Just grabbed one and hooked it up eheh. Its to the point where I just started the job then opened a cp connection with my tablet and went inside to monitor it.

I had made it from laser cut acrylic but my motors ripped it apart! It was pretty funny.
