The CNC router is a router that cuts out material and doesn't shave anything down like the CNC mill. It has a bit that spins to cut out the material you put in it. CNC routers cut out bigger designs or thicker material in shorter times than the mill.
The making of the maze pictures
How to setup the maze:
Start off in inventor and click on new part, go to the XY plane to make the maze. Click on sketch and then the rectangle tool to make a rectangle. Make it 8.5x11 no bigger than that, then extrude to 3/4 in. After click on new 2d sketch and then the front face and then click on the rectangle tool again and make a rectangle and dimension it to 5/16 in and a border of 3/8 so away from the wall by 3/8 in. The do to the extrude tool and it will want to extrude up but click on the orange rectangle with the arrow and make it go backwards and this will be extruded by 1/4 in down. Then go back to new 2d sketch and and go to the rectangle tool and make sure to over lap them so they make a opening together, then repeat the process again until you are finished.

Fusion 360
This is Fusion 360 directions
Process of making
Find a piece of foam that is your dimensions or bigger, then find the center and place it on the CNC router taped down with double sided sticky tape, then move the router bit near to the center of the foam that you marked. Once you do this zero out x and y, then don't do anything with x and y and move z-axis up, then take a sensor and and click on the sense zero z-axis or something like that and wait until it hits it and then it will go up and take the sensor out. make sure the router speed is 10000 rpm. Then click reset and start, hold your hand over the space bar and wait until the router is done.
What I learned:
I learned that the CNC router has to be right for the axis on fusion 360 because it will be in the air if you don't get it right. If you have any metal near the bit it will be toasts and you would need to by a new one. Fusion 360 you have to put it in 2D contour and not in 3D adaptive clearing. If you screw up one line in fusion 360 you have to start again.
