Make It With Claude

Digital fabrication guides for the design-to-machine workflow: getting an idea into a model, a model into a toolpath, and a toolpath onto a printer, CNC, or laser without wrecking a spindle to learn it.

Five guides are planned. The first is drafted and in production; the rest follow in the order below. Each will be a PDF plus working files, on the same single-user license as everything else here.

1. 3D Printing Fundamentals — 14 chapters, printer setup through reliable multi-part prints. in production
2. Design to Model — parametric modeling for parts that have to fit, with OpenSCAD and a GUI CAD alternative.
3. Vector and CNC — from SVG to cut file; what a router and a laser each need from your drawing.
4. G-code — reading it, editing it by hand, and generating it from Python when the slicer won't do what you want.
5. CNC and Laser Operation — work-holding, feeds and speeds, safety, and recovering from the mistakes everyone makes once.
