I have a request to make a 3" X 3" soap mold from the attached file.
I'm going to use machinists wax and I want pretty fine work. I seem to remember reading that for fine resolution something like a 30deg engravers bit with .005 flat works good. Anybody have any further guidelines on stepover, feeds, speeds...a better choice of bits?
By the way, Grant Bailey has been mentioned recently a couple of times as a 3D artist...to toot his horn a little, this is just part of a larger crest he created for me.
