Drilled 18.750 holes by 0.3mm dia PCB drill bit.
Position accuracy deteriorated significantly after drilled by about 2000 holes.
But luckily, no drill bit breakage after all holes have been drilled.
:-)
man you got patiency like ten other together..
I understand the process that you glue it on the holders....
but after you mill it theres left no rigidity..
how you can remove the ready egg?
another question, what diameter that tool you are using?
keep going to posting.. its fantastic...
Thx Victor.
how you can remove the ready egg?
[Just melting the glue]
what diameter that tool you are using?
[For relief engraving -- 0.2mm 30 degrees flat tip engraving tool]
[For hollow out -- 0.6mm PCB rout bit]
Awesome project.

Your machine is this just 3 axes or 4?
what control software are you using?
very nice work, it's good to see something different

Thx mactec
Your machine is this just 3 axes or 4?
[Its a 3 axes machine. Two rotary and one linear.]
what control software are you using?
[Mach 2]
That is gorgeous. It is this type of awesome that has inspired me to get back into CNC. Keep it up!

This is INDEED art. It's really great and inspiring to watch your work and patience. Must have cracked a bunch of them before you mastered this.
Thanks John and A_Camera.
And yes, cracked quite a lot before the machine and software have been optimized : )
Saw a beautiful iron work pattern in a shopping mall last week.
Took a pic and engraved the pattern on an goose egg shell.

The membrane inside the egg shell has not yet been removed.

Hey uvvvw,
I've been wondering all day, how do you account for inconsistencies in different eggs? I'm sure that various eggs are shaped a bit different than others.
-John
Hi John,
The profiles of different eggs are indeed very different.
I have to scan the profile of each egg before the engraving.
I scan the profile of the egg through a mechanical probe, and get the point cloud file of the egg profile.
This point cloud file can be imported to the 3D software and then merged with the pattern that is going to be engraved.
But this method is not that efficient.
I wrote my program for this merge. And it is much more efficient.
The depth measurement and the cutting depth accuracy is extremely crucial,
especially for the character inscription.
If the inscription is too shallow, the character will be not clear.
If the inscription is too deep the egg shell between the character strokes will be damaged.
Like this one.

I must say again, that is very impressive. Far above my current skill level without a doubt.
Do you use a different machine for the probing, or mount the mechanical probe directly in the machine?
Thanks for posting all these great pictures, the extra explanations are just icing on the cake.
-John
You say you scan the surface of the egg, do you mean just one horizontal line scan, or do you do one horizontal scan then rotate X amount and make another horizontal scan so that you scan the countour of the entire area to be cut?
I really appreciate your design and work, a true artist .
