Cake Toppers

[HaldorLonningdal]

I make cake toppers for my wife, mainly out of plastic but also thin plywood on occation.

For plastics I tend to choose V-bit and my revised carve details are:
32ipm feed rate (pluge 50% of that)
RPM 9k
Depth per pass 2,2mm = full depth (0.2mm below material floor)
Material thickness 2mm
No clean-up pass required.

For plywood, material thickness 2mm, I use 1mm straight bit:
800mm/min feed rate
RPM 9k
Depth per pass 0.3-0.5mm depending on the wood as they break easily.

Sturdy silhouettes?

I cut these regularely for my wife who own a baking shop, I use 1/16" two-colored plastic sheet, food safe, (ABS if I remember correctly) and 30deg V-bits. I get my materials from a local sign-shop. I run the carve twice, once to cut through (Two passes at 50% depth increments), then a second full-depth pass to clear the plastic fussies. 55IPM at 10k RPM. Masking tape and CA to hold the sheet down. [cake_topper_1][cake_topper]
