🥚 Design and carve a custom deviled egg tray with your CNC, perfect for entertaining or as a thoughtful gift! Responding to a student's request, Kyle guides you through creating a tray that can hold 12 to 18 eggs. Learn to create precise egg-shaped recesses using the draw ellipse tool, offset, and efficient array copy (both linear and circular). Discover how to implement various toolpath strategies including pocketing for the egg recesses, profiling for the tray outline, and v-carving for custom text or details. The lesson covers optimizing tool database settings for different bits (end mills, ball nose, v-bits), adding ramp plunges, and applying chamfers or round overs to the edges. Explore material choices and essential food-safe finishing considerations for your wooden tray.
