Step 1: Setting Up CAM

Kiri:Moto is a simple, easy to use CAM software that works with STL files.

Check out the Youtube video to learn about how to use it!

Step 2: Sending Gcode

Kiri:Moto generally defaults to having the origin point at the top centre of the material. Set up your machine to the appropriate location and zero the machine.
