I had jokes. I still had jokes when I finally figured it out thanks to the comments. I don't need another burner account. If I made my jokes, I would absolutely have another burner account.

I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it's easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.

Dude your CNC sessions are totally out of hand if you are having to buying aluminum in bulk. Just get yourself some shibari ropes and a blind fold if you want to take your time and make it an extended session.

(Peck drill can cycle)
Imagine a drill bit going up in down
Babe, you got a Haas? I said I wanted to try CNC, not this Fischer Price Tinker Toy shit.
(I don't actually hate on Haas but I know they're often more light-duty than some other options.)
I came here to learn what CNC is
They told me learning is fun
They lied
Imma head out
I am SCARED, people, SCARED, I tell you. Good day to you!
