Build and Intro

Good tips, thanks. I haven't tried using the software yet as I think my machine might die from all the z action! First thing I will try when I upgrade though.
What sort of times did your half-toning take to machine?

Start with min hole size at 1 mm and max around 4.
Melamine faced chip board and laminated mdf work good.

I have never timed but I would estimate that one of those doors ( from the tree cabinet) took around 1 to 1 and a half hours. Those doors were 15 thousand holes each. Probably could go faster but as you say you don't want the z axis losing steps as it works very hard and would be a bugger to reset.
