the key to making a nice halftone on the cnc is all about the original photo...make sure you have nice midtones ...peep the william s burroughs i did a few years back on my channel...i used a v-bit endmill....commonly found at rockelrs and other wood working spot...i just painted some mdf black and let it rip...love the channel...just made a version of your fab table...now i see why you used a tractor to move it :P
i tried it today on plolycarbonate.. didnt turn out well but i did only do it on a small 2x3in test piece.....couldnt see any dertails..also i may need to mess with image inverting etc..i saw someone do it and he put a black piece of matyerial in back and then used leds to light up and it looked great but he had a pretty big engraving about 15x20in ..looked pretty good..the black background helped a lot ..and fyi i used lines not dots..im my opinion dots puts way too much waer and tear on cnc machine...and takes a lot longer to do as compared to using lines
I was going to download this earlier today but I didn't because I am on a Mac. Is it possible to use this program on windows, save the g-code on a thumb drive and then run the g-code on a Mac using gsender for my Longmill? I am really interested on doing this. please.
I am using small CNC router and it works with MACH2. The question is how to adapt G-code generated by Halftone software to G-code I could use in my cnc. To mention that I am new in this job... Thanks
Where do you zero it? Corner, center? I have my program drawn and ready just haven't taken it to machine yet and was curious of this aspect. Thanks in advance
Спасибо, добрый человек! Я так долго искал такую программу как Halftoner! Вы мой спаситель! Низкий Вам поклон!
Very cool! It reminded of the pictures and drawings in very old newspapers comic-books and magazines.
This is so awesome, it's like screen printing t-shirts but on wood!!!!
Might be fun to try in colored acrylic and backllight it.
Sounds like a fun thing to try.

Thanks for watching!
try using white and black acrylic glued together. I think its gives you best result
Good idea. I'm going to try more stuff like this once the full sized cnc router is finished. Thanks for watching!

This is super cool. I wonder how it would work with a plasma cutter on a car hood.
Not sure since the software uses the depth of the bit to create the circle sizes which wouldn't work on plasma.
I wonder how some bright colored laminate over mdf would turn out. Would the glue gum up the bit?
It's a straight bit so I don't think it would gum up the bit, but I'm not 100% sure.
you work milling on primary laser mashine.
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄

have you used Stipplegen?
No, what is it?
Nice diy cnc.
Thanks 👍
Man thanks. I gotta mpcnc and. This software looks good way better than estl cam
Yeah but it will only do halftone projects. Estl cam will generate gcode from dxf files.
How mush time did it takes to finish ?
It's been so long, I have no idea.

May be wrong but watched the video again and when you go to write g-code I'm wondering if it's the origin for x and y setting. 🤷🏻♂️
Sorry, it's been so long since I've used this software. I think you can select in the software which corner to set 0,0.
Cool project.
Thank you sir
has anyone tried this in polycarbonate as a LED backlit sign..wonder if it would look or or horrible
That would be nice to try. Maybe when the DIY CNC Router finished I can give it a try.
does the software give you a time estimate? if not how long does this usually take?
No
Nice work 👍
Thank you.
basically a Lithophane? Thanks for sharing!
Software free or charges...how to download and install...
BEEN TRYING THE SOFTWARE, BUT IT DOESNT WORK
nice 🇮🇶
In machine where is origin x0 & y0....
I can do this on aluminium??
It would have to run slower, but should work.
