There is a search feature - sort of… Just open "All Projects"and give it a moment to load and then go to the browser’s menu bar - edit - find or find in page. Type “star wars” in the find box.

My first attempt. Im not 100% happy with it. My z clearance was set to .001" which caused the bit to drag, making the crossing lines. Also have some chip out. Maybe Im too picky. Any suggestions on how I should prep the MDF before cutting. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/0/007949b110a0a83a68d54c804186a45d7f37245f.jpg) ---

I got a little chip out too, but seems the deeper its carved in one pass the less chip out there is, I set my depth at 5mm but think I might try 6 next time [Next page](https://community.inventables.com/t/aztec-star-wars-dial/39338.md?page=2)
