NOTE: I apologize, but I managed to accidentally delete my whole photo gallery on my phone, which included all of the photos from all stages of the process. (This goes for the Mill, Router, And partially on the Final Project.)
The Maze Part I Guess
Fusion 360
Much like the brake bracket, we begin with the setup. The stock is the size of a piece of paper (8.5x11 inch) and 3/4 inches thick. The box point, differing from the brake bracket, is placed in the exact center of the stock.

The next step, mostly like the brake bracket, is setting up the cutting path. One difference is the method, which in this case was the 2D contour setting. The second difference in the cutting path was the fact I had to individually click each line in the maze. Every single straight line in my complex maze path, which ended up being over 100 clicks. Due to technical errors, I did this 2-3 times until Ms. Proctor changed something about an angle and everything worked. Anyways, the stock to leave is still 0 and the maximum roughing stepdown is still 0.25 inch.

On the Router...
The router material prepping is similar, but on the piece of foam core, you need to find the exact center to match how you placed your box point in the center. once sticking it down to the sacrificial board, you can home the machine and zero it, same as the mill. Once finding your file, it is ready to start. After the maze is finished, the shop vac is there to clean up the leftover foam scraps.
