do watch the toolpath? prep the next setup? grab a snack? watch series/movie?
 
Mostly hover around pretending I’m being productive while it runs. I’ll start cleaning up or organizing tools, but really I’m just listening for that one sound that means trouble.
 
I usually hover around for the first few minutes just to make sure nothing sounds off, then grab a drink or check on the next design. Still not chill enough to leave it running alone though.
