I don't yet own a CNC but I was curious if I could make something and I did. I know it will need some tweaks but I can't do that until I get a machine. Don't really know when but It's on my toy list. Anyway here's what I got using the Phatboy plugin. I'm excited that it was so easy. It's basically a 15" radius dish.



The code, at least part of it.
