Wouldn't 1800 be half rotation?

[oskay]

@jivanta23 The machine has 3200 steps per revolution, so half of a revolution is 1600 steps.

Are you in any way related to the youtube user Kipkay?

[oskay]

@EyePodX He's a friend, but we're not related.

So, can you do multiple passes, with different colors, and make picture perfect Faberge' Eggs?

[oskay]

@whotoinfinity Multiple passes, different colors yes. Picture perfect? Hard to say.

@Spinnygrass I haven't personally tried a drill, but we're working on a getting a diamond engraving attachment ready as an option. Works nicely on glass balls and things like that.

[oskay]

@Spinnygrass Yes, works on all kinds of round objects. Light bulbs, golf balls, and so on.  Drew on a mini-pumpkin, too. :)

oskay- Great video! Makes me really want one of these to play with. Have you tried rigging up something like a pencil drill with a cutting bit?
