## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10696:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10696:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A UV laser can focus beneath the surface of optical glass and fracture a single point without marking the outside. Repeat that a few hundred thousand times and a three-dimensional scene/object appears, suspended inside a solid glass sphere.

Inner engraving is less about the laser than the rig around it. The blank has to sit dead still and fully submerged, with the oil level held roughly 2mm above the top of the ball. Once everything is coated in engraving oil, glass becomes very difficult to grip safely.

This kit is built around that problem. A graduated glass cup matched to the oil volume of an 80mm ball, a silicone pad to dampen vibration, anti-slip strips for oily hands, and a perforated acrylic tray on a metal stand so the finished ball lifts straight out rather than being fished for. The fixture is reusable, and the oil can be reused many times over.

Designed for [the xTool F2 Ultra UV](https://core-electronics.com.au/xtool-f2-ultra-uv-laser-machine-only.html).

### Features

- K9 optical glass with high transparency, so fractured points scatter light cleanly and the scene stays legible instead of washing out under illumination.
- Graduated glass cup sized to the exact oil volume for an 80mm ball — pour to the line rather than guessing, and waste less oil per job.
- Shock-absorbing silicone pad sits beneath the cup and dampens vibration during engraving, holding point placement accurate and the scene crisp.
- Transparent anti-slip strips give a secure grip on an oil-coated cup while staying clear enough to read the graduations through.
- Perforated acrylic tray and metal stand assemble over the cup rim, so the ball is retrieved by lifting the stand — no reaching into oil.
- Included LED display stand lights the finished piece from below; warm light picks out the engraved points and makes the scene read as genuinely three-dimensional.
