What is the recommended CNC machine setup for milling this icon model?

This STL model is optimized for 3-axis CNC wood milling machines using software like ArtCam, Mach3, or NC Studio. A ball-nose end mill (typically 1-3mm diameter) is recommended for detailed religious iconography, with slower feed rates to preserve fine facial features and religious symbols.

What wood types work best for carving this Saint Sergius icon?

Medium-density hardwoods like cherry, walnut, or maple are ideal as they hold fine detail well. For painted finishes, basswood or lime are excellent choices. Avoid softwoods with prominent grain patterns that may obscure the intricate facial details and religious elements of the icon.

How should I prepare the STL file for CNC milling?

Import the STL into your CAM software and generate toolpaths with appropriate stepover (30-50% of tool diameter). Add a 3-5mm sacrificial base layer. For depth, 3-8mm relief works well. Always run a simulation first to check for tool collisions, especially around the delicate halo and facial features of Saint Sergius.
