Hello Everybody,
I recently purchased the Photo VCarve software, but have not been successful with it. Can every please share some tips and tricks so I can figure out what I did wrong! I have watched a bunch of videos, but still unsure what I need to change. My issue is how to know what depth to carve and the line spacing
TIA!
I have attached a few phots. I attached a photo of the preview, how the project actually came out, my tool settings, and the cut settings.

Re: Depth of cut and Spacing
Hi,
Quick question for you regarding your v-bit setting...
Are you using an actual 45-degree bit?...or are you using a 90-degree bit?
Your bit setting shows you are using a 45-degree included angle (aka, total angle) bit.

Re: Depth of cut and Spacing
It appears to me that you are using a narrower angle, perhaps 30°, V-bit. The darkest areas of the carve should have the grooves almost touching or even overlapping a little bit. If a 45° bit cuts to a depth of 0.05 in. then the width of the groove would be 0.0414 and the line spacing is 0.041.

Nimm einen 1mm Rundfräser,Linienabstand 0,15mm
Tiefe zwischen 2-max 3,5mm
dauert etwas länger aber wird super
