Overall it probably took me 1 week spending anywhere from 3 to 10 hours per day to figure out exactly HOW to make this project come to life.
I had the idea in my head but NO CLUE how to put it to machining...
Problems I faced:
-The first problem was how to draw what I wanted in CAD
-How do I exactly hold the plastic on the machine
-How do I make it so I can repeat the same program to make multiple parts
-What size endmill or cutting speed do I use
After a bag full of scraps, 2 broken endmill the frames started to come to life. The end result was great but I don't plan to run this assembly line anytime soon :)

Plastic is Double Side Taped to a piece of wood which is also taped to the mill. Scotch double side tape works great!
