Hi I have been using your inkscape extension, Engineering 305. Is there a way to change resolution values? May be have 8px/mm sort of options?
Hi oni305 I love your 305 engineering for inkscape extension!!! Thank you for the work. I do have a question on the output file. My original image in inkscape : http://i.imgur.com/xKW60X8.png and the output image : http://prntscr.com/9yr6w1 My settings are : http://prntscr.com/9yr70v Laser Print size is 138mm X 178mm Is there something I can do to more closely match the original to the final product??
1) switch to (R+G+B)/3 2) increase the B/W treshold to 250 & download the latest version from github https://github.com/305engineering/Inkscape
Hello oni305 , Thank you for your fantastic contribution. Raster2laser perishes me a fantastic application. Misfortune, I do not understand programming, and I would like to do to you a consultation. Would it be possible to add a similar halftone option, but rasterizase entire drawing and each unit pixel,Report a value between 0 and 255 of "S" according to the shade of B/W? I want controlling the laser power.
Oh yeah, that version is wonderful, thank you very much !!! Have you any blog or forum where I can follow the evolution of this software ?? Greetings and thanks again
Hello ' thanks for your offer but I have already made the constant current driver for the laser but would certainly appreciate a copy of the schematic to see if I'm on the correct path. However I'm struggling with the software side of things. So fare I managed to load the UNO board with the Grbl library but have not yet been able to communicate with it to send g-code files to it. Thanks again for your help.
Hello, I'm very impressed with your project. I have used your Inkscape g-code generator on my 3D printer to produce a PCB and it certainly works. Now it's time for me to make a laser PCB machine. Sooooo would it be possible to get a copy of your PCB circuit design and the software Thanks:
Hi, the software on the board is GRBL (v0.8). For the design of the PCB: I'm planning a new version with a new laser driver that supports the version of v0.9g grbl with PWM ! But if you are interested in the old version, I still have some PCBs
Hi oni305 I love the inkscape extension you wrote for laser engraving. However start engraving from the most left side for every lines are very inefficient, thus i took your code and modified it now the gcode it generate goes in opposite direction for each line, shorten the engraving time by as much as half. I would like to share the modified code with you, so you can share it with the world.
You can send me a PM :D However I've also started working on this "patch" but I have little/no time right now :(
