    This is my first try at a litho but I'm doing something wrong. The edges are way too thin and one cracked. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't know how to attach the .mpc.

    You attach the mpc the same way you did the image. Browse to the location and select it.

    What depth/height settings and feather did you use? Was it on 1/4" or 1/2"?

    It was on 1/4" corian, and used the settings in the tips and tricks. I believe .180 depth and 450 height. I will try to send mpc

    I'm not that great at proof reading but your thickness is set at .75 instead of .25

    If that was the mpc you used your setting was .250 for depth and 100 for height. If so then that would explain why it carved through. Changing it to .180 and 450 should get you what you want.
