First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber Light Duty Utility Knife , 173

I ve long wanted to try machining carbon fiber, so I put together a quick little project to test some basic toolpaths. It s a little proof of concept utility blade holder that I m actually quite fond of now. I ll probably end up using it for a few weeks to see where I can improve the design. So far I ve only stabbed myself with it once.
