My wife asked me to cut out a Giant Snowflake that the kids could put their faces through the center and get winter festival pictures taken at his school. I had a single giant sheet of foam core poster board so I headed to @DarthTigger501’s maker space shop to cut it out on the X-Carve giant cnc router. Despite a few problems it turned out great and my wife and son were super excited. The winter festival will be awesome and you guys get a cool last-minute off the cuff video!
