9/1/2023 0 Comments Inkscape engrave and cutIn all I am super pleased with your image2gcode aside from a few personal additions it works perfect for my needs as I continue to learn inkskape and the plugins offered within. Leo was going to look at the code and see what I could let go of or delete to free up space. The version I run when uploaded says there are serious memory issues and could cause issues in my functionality of laser. Also Leo never got back to me, I posted my folder on google drive which contains my current version of marlin that I run. I would be happy to share with you the email threads from piclaser and myself if that would help you in your development process. I guess it would be like having 20 crayons or 255 to work with, the 255 will be much more colorful and offer more in regards to options. Where as those running diode lasers have a range 0-255, makes a difference in end result. It is difficult using the image2gcode only because I have only 10-30 min/max power I can use which limits the variations for laser intensity. I am gettting the results I am need and want from your image2gcode version, with the same beautiful results that pic laser offered in their product. Believe me, I wanted so badly for that software to work due to its ease of use and the outcome. I spent the better part of over a month working with jeff at piclaser aggressively testing but his final word was that is was not possible with the forked marlin software I currently run. Again I do not understand any of this but sure wish I did so I could have some fun burning stuff ) Other times I will have everything absolutely correct but the plugins will not like something (as they say in k40 community), so in that case I cut project and re paste in new document then rerun plugin to have it work. We use the following process in Inkscape: Set only the cut layer to visible. The SVG, made in Inkscape, contains a cut layer and an engrave layer. Attached are some design files that we’re having trouble importing into the Glowforge Web app (GFUI). I always get pulled away or loose my train of thought, but sometimes I loose interest because the plugins and inkscape freeze up on me. I’m working with a small Makerspace that is just getting started. I keep looking for bits of info out there that direct me in how to setup a project from start to finish which I could duplicate in my own projects. Step by step in forums like this I am learning, but not fast enough. I have used the inkscape plugin but not to its full potential and that is due to my lack of understanding in all of this. I do not have any issues with the software however I wanted something a bit more user friendly for those who just came in wanting to burn something like an image to material. Its funny I think, I am trying to get away from the inkscape plugin and you are looking to go towards it lol. As you know by now my system uses the exact required hardware and software for the inkscape plugin mentioned above.
