First Tests with the NSCNC Elara: Wax Milling Adventures!

The day has finally come—my first tests with the NSCNC Elara are underway, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🎉 This is my very first experience with milling, and I decided to start with wax as the material for these initial tests.

The Elara is an absolute marvel to work with. Even as a complete beginner, I’m amazed at how intuitive the setup feels and how precise the machine operates. Watching the spindle carve through the wax with precision is an experience like no other. 😊

While I’m still learning the ropes, this first test has been incredibly encouraging. Wax is a forgiving material to work with, which makes it the perfect starting point for understanding the machine’s capabilities and refining my technique.

I can already see how this machine will open up countless possibilities for creating intricate watch components. These early steps are just the beginning of what promises to be an incredible journey!

Stay tuned as I continue exploring, learning, and sharing updates from these exciting first days with the Elara. 🚀
