First 3D Carving

My first attempt at a 3D. Design isn’t mine. 28 hours of carve time. After the 14 hours of first failed attempt. Very surprised at how smooth the finish was right off the machine. Alot less sanding that I thought.

Very cool looking

Details on the carve, bits etc?

Used a 1/16 tapered ball nose 4% step over. One of Amana’s spektra coated models. The 3D portion took around 28 hours after the initial attempt which took 14 hours. I initially doubled the step over because I figured 8% was good enough and that’s what I see many youtubers suggest. Well I was wrong. 4% was the default value from Amana and for this bit at least, it’s the right one. Night and day difference in quality.
