Making the Maze
The creation of my maze was a testing process for me. When I started the design I thought I had a great idea but little did I know it wasn't going to be that easy. After a few designs and close to mental break downs I came up with a very simple design that didn't give me a mental breakdown. You can see how the design looks in inventor to the right.

Once everything was set up in fusion it was time to go down to the router and cut it out. The first time I tried to cut it out things did not go to plan. It turns out my stock box point was in the wrong place so I had to fix that and then wait till next class to do it. Once next class came around I was able to easily set it up in the software and router it. You can see how the two looked below.
What I learned
While designing and manufacturing my maze I learned many things that will and have already helped me. But the biggest and the main one I learned is patience. I had to be very very very patient whether it was is the design process, setting it up in fusion, or on the router. In every step of this process I had to be patient in one way or another. I am thankful for the experience and will put the things I learned to good use.
