inkscape laser cutter plugin cut and raster

Then, i will overload the process and submit method of the Device class, because i need adding specific argument to the move method (like laser power or control point of bezier curves) and process quadratic bezier curve directly extracted from the svg file (and not subpolygon of it).īut i wonder if it takes sense to add a method which sends gcode, to a driver class and not to a protocol class? You're right not every gcode-based software handle all commands, but, from one firmware to another, a G0 command will always do the same task (it's normative.). So I will add a new driver : - model = Generic laser machine - manufacturer = inkcut ) - add basic 'process' command to fill a closed polygon for example - add multi passes command My todo list for the future is : - add compatibility with gcode's specific curved paths command (G5, G4) - add a laser raster - add some controls button (laser On/Off, reset X/Y origin. I need help to know where to put new code, do I need to make a new driver? or do i need to modify directly the gcode protocol (what I've actually done)? or a new plugin? I've a lot of question, and i want to keep the 'open source' point of view, so if my work can help and be integrated in the original project, it only can be great for me ! You can see what I've done in my fork Here. The enaml, atom and twisted API where pretty news for me. I don't want to break the philosophy of the software. So I've decided to add more 'laser oriented' functionalities.Īnd that where I need help (and maybe where I can help too !).

It does what I want, and it's very pleasant and intuitive to work with inkcut. So I've forked the project on GitHub and adapted it (like a lumberjack with an axe but I was in a hurry to begin to cut.). I've successfully updated this old 8 bit machine to the latest Marlin version (gcode).So Inkcut was a good starting point I think, but, if I'm right, it only cut. I need software to pilot an old 3D printer transformed into a laser engraving machine. Hi, Thanks to the team who have started and continue to work on this soft!
