Thnx for your reply. I'll give it a try

Hi Charlie,

It's a real shame the tutorial videos are gone. Is there any way to get them back? I know that 
you are always willing to help but I want to continuously try out the possibilities of the program.
For now I have a question. 
I want a triangle (supershape stamp) gradually mill from one of the sides (6 mm) to 2 mm at the tip. 
How can I do that? 
Thanks in advance.
Nico

Thank you for your comprehensive advice. Still a lot to learn😀. 

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your quick reply and good to know. Besides the Distance Sort option, do you recommend another 3D cutting method with a faster and maybe better result?

It is great fun to work with PixelCNC. I am currently working on a photo conversion to 3D. That works well but I have a question. In the simulation of PixelCNC I see that the bit neatly finishes the canvas row by row without interruptions during 3D parallel carving. I use the G-code in Candle and there I see that the bit is very often brought to the safe height and then continues. That takes a lot of time. Why this difference between the simulation and the execution (in Candle) and can this be prevented. I hope I explained it well. I can of course add the G-code if desired. Best regards, Nico

Hi Charlie,

Sorry for my late reply but now I have used your instructions and it works!  Thank you for this solution and learning.

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for your very helpfull answer. I will try your method tomorrow and will let you know the result.

I've used a 'simple' 2D profile milling with the following parameters. Would you like other information?

Additional: the simulation gives the right position

As a relative CNC beginner, I have the following question. I have created my first G-code in PixelCNC, 
but my machine starts above the material instead of in the material. 
I compared the G-code start with my current CAM (Easel) and see the following difference 
(it is not he same project). Easel starts at Z6.000 and goes to Z-0.600. PixelCNC starts at Z6.100 and 
goes to Z5.40. Please help.
