What’s the funniest or most unexpected object you’ve ever cut or engraved just to test settings? like beyond the usual small boat, letters and stuff. ever make a prank toy or trap?
I once tried engraving a spoon just to see if I could and YEP! i ended up with a crooked smiley face and a burn mark. Still use it though, kind of my “lucky spoon” now.
Tried cutting a small fidget spinner years ago and ended up making one that spins for two minutes straight. I still play with it while waiting for toolpaths to finish. Hearing it is like white noise.
I tried dialing in my speeds and feeds once and ended up machining a tiny wrench that absolutely couldn’t tighten anything. Looked great, worked terrible. It still sits on my desk as a reminder not to trust my “yeah this’ll work” moments.
