Finally got this running . yay.
Just a file I found on thingiverse for now.
I notice in the video that certain lines in your design were done slightly slower & look like deeper cuts. Is there a reason for this?
HIHAA!!! well done.
will you try the Fusion 360 way for smoothie?
( free for unprofit use, download demo then you should have a mail after 30 days)
@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y yes I have no idea why it is doing that. Need to look at the gcode a little later. Might be an issue with inkscape and or the plugin
@StephaneBUISSON good idea. I’ll try the fusion 360 tool soon.
@Allready_Gone1 Thanks man, I am not 100% successful until I have complete beam control lol. as of now and as seen, their is something odd happening with it making repeatable random dark lines lol. Going to try some other software workflows and learn more about all of this. was neat so far. the test last night was good to prove to my wife that I did kind of know what I was doing when I gutted the machine initially.
Are the lines that are randomly darker/slower cut actually random? I wonder is it just that particular file (since you said it’s just a file you found on thingiverse). Have you tested with different files?
@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y & @Allready_Gone1
the darker lines in that location on every try. So it could be the file. I need to try my own files next. That makes sense about if it slows down it would draw darker lines, I just do not know why some of it “prints” fast and some lines slow, could be part of the file, Will experiment more tonight and this week.
@David_Cook Any luck fixing that issue with the random darker/thicker lines?
