+If you want to engrave without nosecone, e.g. after having performed a surface map, or when cutting a 3d relief, the spring pressure ring has to be locked. To lock the spring pressure ring, it has to be screwed down completely.\\

 |**Note:** Be extremely careful never to use the nosecone on your spindle when the spring pressure lockring is down. You may harm your Z-axis motor, the Z-axis leadscrew and even the controller. In other words, always respect the following principle: Never launch an engraving cycle with both the nosecone on the spindle and the spring pressure lock ring screwed down.  |

   - Then click the “set surface” key {{:en:x300:key_surface.png?30|}}, which will make a small window pop up. In this window several variables have to be entered:\\

       * **"Y scan distance"**: the height of the same imaginary rectangle you want to map.
       * **"Step size"**: the distance between each of the points to be digitized, both in X and in Y. If your plate is almost flat and has relatively unimportant height differences, you can use a relatively high value, e.g. 20 or even 30 mm. If your object has a more irregular relief, keep the step size small, e.g. 5 mm. Which value you have to choose with which kind of surface is a matter of trying and building some experience.

   - Your 2D engraving job, with all of its speeds and depths, will be projected on the mapped surface. The mapped surface is a fluid interpolated cloud of points. Although the machine in reality performs a 3d job, for the user it is just a 2D application.
