### Step 2: File in the CNC machine

Utilize the file adapted for the CNC machine.

- Consider the diameter of the CNC milling cutter to maintain the accuracy of part dimensions.
- Vacuum microplastics to facilitate their reuse in creating plastic sheets, often employed for prototyping new products.

### Step 3: Soften the  edges

The CNC machine leaves a support. Remove it with a chisel, then smooth the edges with sandpaper.
