milling model
- Unrolling a model for rotary milling is useful for milling rings BUT causes distortions of all details not on the original circular reference curve. Since stars are verv susceptible to showing distortions I've removed it from this milling operation.
- After the rotary milling the shank the star is milled using a linear X-Y-Z strategy.
- Both models demonstrate that a water tight fully enclosed model is not required.
