Anyone have the settings to add the MC Etcher Diamond Engraver Drag Bit to the CC Tool Path. I was thinking of ordering a set
I’m sure @wmoy will be releasing recommended feeds and speeds for MC Etcher soon, but in the meantime you can refer to the many diamond drag bit threads on the forum for values, and @WillAdams summarized things neatly in that post (with videos):

Personally, I do 60 IPM. Depth of “cut” of 0.01", or 0.25mm to start, depending on how stiff you have your spring set. It doesn’t take much. Can always go faster, but subjectively/experimentally I’ve seen diagonal lines developing what look like aliasing artifacts if you go too fast.
