 I finally received my new cnc machine. What should I make? It's 4'x4' so it can hold almost anything. Let me hear your suggestions or if you want to collaborate on something.

 @c39b392a As a gag, print/make a very large "Out Of Order" sign for the CNC machine using the CNC machine.  And then hang it on the CNC machine till someone notices 
 @c39b392a how good are you at 3d modeling? I'm asking, because if you can grab a basic Stratocaster body model from grabcad and turn it into something uniquely awesome, not only you'd be making something real awesome, but you'd prolly be making cash too ;) 
 @c39b392a not sure, but am in awe of your set up.  Aesthetically, it’s beautiful. 
 @c39b392a it can hold mah dick 
 @c39b392a Cool.
First: Wait for the boner to go away. 
Then… I would make frames for screenprinting. https://youtu.be/b79doc3CiZ4 
Or go with the #facesitting sign that @34b3698a suggests. 😮

Make me a sandwich 😶 
 @c39b392a Congrats! I have a Stepcraft in my garage we use to make all sorts of things.

Feeds & speeds is something that takes time & trial/error to learn, so make sure you make notes about what works well in the beginning so you can track what your machine does well vs what might need to be adjusted/upgraded.

Make sure you keep an eye on your clamps, it's easy when you're starting to make a mistake and run a bit into one which can wreck the piece, bit, and even spindle. 

Glad to colab.
