The result looks exactely like in the preview so the 'Add Stack' option won't work. In InkCut, I just have to choose it in the printer tab.įirst thing I observed: Hight and width are interchanged if I use InkCut with my plotter. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 when I plugged the plotter it was detected automatically, so I installed it as Raw Printer. Your inkscape extension is exactly what I'm looking for - I hope you find the time to continue developing. Hi, I'm testing your extension with a Graphtec CE5000-60 cutting plotter. It will return it to the origin (I think that was the cause for the hang) Hopefully fixed - end of plot hang/no response - > set the Distance to feed at end of plot to less than 0, -1.0. blade offset actually works, but it's not 100% correct (it does help) -> if using with overcut, make sure the overcut is more than 4 x bladeOffset, use preview to check and make sure there's no errors If you like my work please send me a donation to my paypal address, The files are attached with a readme to install. Hope it works for you, please let me know if you're having bugs or issues with it, I can try to help fix them. Once it's finished sending the data, it'll give you a nice message about the data it sent. Clicking cancel will most likely cause your inkscape to lock up until it is done sending all the data. as of now there is no way to abort once you sent it, if you want to stop it, do it manually on the cutter. Your cutter should start if all went well. Now i'm ready to cut, uncheck the preview box and click apply again.
Using preview will make a new layer, to get rid of it hit either ctrl-z to undo or delete the layer. I don't want to waste all that vinyl so i'll rotate the path and try again. Use this to make sure it will cut what you're looking for. Red paths are when the pen is down and blue is when up. I only have this enabled so you can still change your selections without having to re open the InkCut extension. Notice, do not check the live preview checkbox. Lastly a very useful tool is the preview instead of cut checkbox, this will convert the hpgl string back to svg paths and display it on your drawing. Down further is path selection, this is useless (coming in newer versions possibly), ignore it.ġ0. I'm just going to leave them alone (they work if you need them).ĩ. Padding and position are pretty straightforward, position is where the cutter should start on the vinyl, padding is the spacing between the tiles. If you setup your device correctly, it should automatically create tiles that fit.Ĩ. Click on the paths tab and choose the number of copies of your path you would like to cut out. The axis tab I highly recommend using the defaults, as I have not tested them with any other values yet.ħ. Overcut works as it sounds, it cuts an extra x mm of the path. Right now blade offset doesn't work, so you can put it at anything and it wont change your path. The cutting tab has two spinboxes, overcut is set to. This is just like a page margin on a printer, spacing on the ends of the tile. At the bottom of the device tab you'll see a few more tabs, margin is default at 5 mm. The tile width is basically how wide your vinyl is.Ħ. I set my device width to 160 cm and tile width to 30 cm. InkCut doesn't support anything larger than your device size, so if you're trying to cut something bigger it will not work. With that done, click on the device tab, and adjust all the widths accordingly. If you don't know which to choose, check pyserial documentation.ĥ. I use a usb cable so my name was /dev/ttyUSB0, you can also just use a port number like 0,1, 2 etc. Click on the settings tab, most of the things you can leave default. Select the path you want to cut, it must be at least one path, no groups, no objects.Ĥ. Below is the old versions 0.1 and 0.2 for referenceĢ.
