I stay close enough to keep an eye on things, but I’ll usually do something low-key in the background so I don’t rush the process or miss obvious issues later.

For me that’s often organizing files, sketching out the next design idea, or just taking a short mental break while the carve finishes. I’ve even put together a small page with simple browser games I use during downtime, onga.io, which is easy to step away from as soon as the machine needs attention again.

How do the rest of you handle long carve times do you stay hands-on the whole time or multitask nearby?

Hopefully, can be useful to someone. 

Just playing around with a basic design.

Thx, especially for doing the grayscale.
