The machine may be left unattended, but check in on it every 5 minutes or so.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The average cutting job for our soft foam material rarely exceeds 30 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When finished, shut down all machinery, unclamp stock, and clean with the shop vac.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-production\"><\/span>Post-production<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine is not too slow, and post-production for this project is minimal! Training for post-production work has already been covered by the live demo and the safety training video mentioned above. Typically, you are only using tweezers or a small emery board to remove burrs and minor flashing of foam that the machine may have left behind, and that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Document_the_results\"><\/span>Document the results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Show off your finished print on your process journal or blog by taking simple but careful photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean the lens!&nbsp;<\/strong>| When you pull your phone out of your linty pocket with your smudgy fingers, the lens gets dirty.
