Re: CNC egg shell carving
Hi Roger, good to see you through the internet again :)
On the inside???
(yes)
LONG shank with ball end and come up through hole in bottom of egg?
(normal 0.2mm flat tip 30 degree engraving bit. not really long shank one. not a hole in the bottom, but a big hole in the back. you can see it in the 3rd pic)
Still with only 3 axes?
(yes, same machine)
Or large egg and right-angle dental drill?
(normal 90mm long goose egg. not right-angle one, just normal spindle. i use a brushless DC spindle)

Silver wire embedded goose egg shell
The first trial :)
0.2mm silver wire.

Re: CNC egg shell carving
Brilliant!
A work of great care and patience I imagine to get the silver wire embedded without breaking the egg?
And what glue to hold it in place?
Cheers
Roger

Thx Roger,I am wonder that the egg shell does not break :)Look like goose egg shell is not that brittle.And I used instant glue to hold the silver wire.

Re: CNC egg shell carving
Thank you for posting all of this great artwork. Like many others, I am amazed.
Looking back at the egg that you drilled with so many holes, you mentioned that there were some challenges with holding tolerances. Do you think that the process of drilling the holes might have shifted the egg's surface around vs the original scan?
My wife is not usually that interested in CNC, but I am definitely going to show her this thread.

Thx harryn,i guess the egg shell is abrasive. it makes the drill bit blunting quickly. and causes the wandering effect.and hope your wife like it:)
