After e lot of hours, i figured out the following parameters and configuration.
White translucently thermoplast 2.5 mm
engraving bit 0.3mm - depth 0.75mm/path
distance between lines: 0.132 mm
graving-depth: 1.5mm
speed: 40mm/sec
rpm: 8'500
no cooling
have fun and a lot of luck

Re: Great Lithos
Love them.
How did you get the colours in the bottom picture?
Cheers
Wolffie
Edit:
Are you sure you used a 0.3 mm bit?
PVC just will not allow me to use that size bit with the other settings

Re: Great Lithos
Hi Wolffie
Detailed settings: the distance between lines is approximate... somewhere near the value I wrote in the previous post.
How to get colors?
Transparent printable foil with printed picture (fotoquality) and fix it on backside of the Litho
good luck, have fun

Re: Great Lithos
Thanks Walter
Please tell me what parameter I have set wrongly.
For some strange reason the program will not accept 90 degrees but 89 is fine. Strange. Cheers

Re: Great Lithos
You are inputting 89 degrees as the Side Angle so PVC thinks you are using a bit with a 178 degree Included Angle, or almost flat. Therefore the maximum allowable pass depth is going to be very small.Please tell me what parameter I have set wrongly.
It won't accept 90 degrees as the Side Angle because that would result in a flat bottom bit (end mill).
See your other post for more details.

Re: Great Lithos
Hello Wolffie
I recommend engrave tools with maximum 60 degrees (half = 30 degrees -> check the small tool-graphic in the editing-tool-box within your tool-database). Engraving-tools, greater than 60 degrees, I had less quality. Recommendation somewhere between 36 and 60 degrees (half = 18 and 30 degrees).
For more details, send me a private message.
best regards

How do you get the printed foil the same size as the litho?
Do you print it first and then set the size of the litho or is there another trick?
