Hello Everyone!
"We would like to thank OpenBuilds community member Kyo for the design efforts put into the awesome machine known as The Sphinx! This machine quickly became an OpenBuilds community favorite and speaks for itself in all the builds inspired from it. Kyo took it to the next level with a great video build to accompany his already great electronics setup tutorial videos." -Mark Carew

Please note: Be sure to check out all the cool CAM programs out there to take your machine to the next level!

2. For creating 2D drawings we use the Free and Awesome OpenBuilds CAM
   (CAM Works up the cut lines and makes the GCODE for the parts)
3. For controlling the machine we use OpenBuilds CONTROL Software
   (CONTROL Reads the gcode created in cam and moves the machine to make the part or art)
