3D tool path help

Hey guys new to this community. I am attempting to carve out a feather that I got off of Etsy. My problem is that when I run the simulation the feather looks flat with no detail in it. Pretty sure I’m doing something wrong maybe the wrong bit. Any help would be appreciated.

The default height for a 3D model is 3mm — did you import at that default?

Are you using a tool small enough to cut the details at the height you did import at?

See:

for a recent discussion of this sort of issue.

I thought it could be the tool after righting this. It was an stl file

If you continue to have difficulties with this, upload the STL here (or, if it’s a commercial file, send to support@carbide3d.com) as well as your .c2d (same restrictions) and we will look into this with you.

So I’ve changed the size of bit and I also changed the detail setting and it’s looking better I’m going to cut it and see how it turns out.

So I carved it anyways after changing the bit size. Turned out just missing some detail. Have to get smaller bits.
