yy502 / inkscape-laserpecker Goto Github PK

In my initial attempt I got

I know the svg target size is probably too big, so I will adjust. But this error seems cryptic

.

It took me a bit figure out where to install the Inkscape extension since I am using Flatpak and not the PPA. I'll submit a PR with the minor changes to the README files in hopes it will help others using Flatpak.

In the latest app for iOS and Android the folder Matarialgcode is missing.
Creating the folder manually does not work.

Hi, I downloaded and installed your plugin for Inkscape. I have created an SVG with the text I want to engrave in wood, but when I create the G-CODE and visualize it in NC, just engrave the outline.
I'm enclosing the SVG and the G-CODE if you can help me, thank you.

Tested on iOS 16 (also iPad OS 16).

Save gcode file on any cloud based volume accessible to the Files app. This can be on iCloud by default, although Files can be used to access other cloud storage services such as DropBox. From the Files app, copy the gcode file by long pressing the file, and selecting Copy. Navigate back to the root level of the Files app, and select the On My iPhone location. Paste the gcode file in LaserPecker/Matarialgcode folder in the On My iPhone location. The gcode file will now be available in G-code section of the Examples section in the LaserPecker app.

iv tried downloading all versions of inkscape to be used for the laserpecker 2 and tried adding the laserpecker files in the extension folder. but its not adding the extension for me. been trying different ways and follow step by step on the procedures listed on here but no success. if anyone can please help me out with what im doing wrong.

Hi,
I received my LP2 two weeks ago and wanted to try cutting 2mm wood.
I now found your great plugin and could already create a gcode, thank you. However, Im unable to cut the wood and I actually think that the app overwrites the cuttingparameters of the gcode, could that be?

I tried your cutting parameter test gcode, but everyline looks exactly the same.

I tried to just cut a square, and selected 200mm/min. In the app I choose 100%power and 20%depth, but even after 10repetitions, the wood isnt cut through. Probably ~1mm deep.
Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong. Probably it has nothing to do with your plugin, but how I use the laser... but couldnt find any other related tipps/posts... sorry!

The extension is not installed for version 1.3, how to install for version > 1.3?

Can you please help.

Do you have a Good gcode file I can try.

Hi there,

Every time I start the gcode the laser start and end immediately.
I've tried with power 50 with the same result.
Even in preview mode they don't show square, just point.
All sample gcore from laserpecker are working fine.
Samples attached.

Hello, the speed setting in G-Code file will be ignored by Laserpecker. Pecker always travels with 3000mm/min and Laser Power stays at 1%. If for example travel speed 200mm/min is selected your code produces G1 F200, that will be ignored by my Laserpecker.
If i append ".000000" (G1 F200.000000) it works great.
Laser Pecker App is 3.45
Firmware of Laserpeckerpecker ist 1.02

Hi there, I traced a little picture and opened in inkscape. When trying to generate the g-code i get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "laserpecker.py", line 1470, in <module>
    e.run()

    doc_height = self.svg.unittouu(self.document.getroot().xpath('@height', namespaces=inkex.NSS)[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

Example file: toad.zip

I was able to fix it using a deprecated function call in laserpecker.py, so i could generate the g-code, but maybe you can look into it:

        doc_height = self.svg.unittouu(self.getDocumentHeight())

I'm also new to inkscape, so maybe I am doing something else wrong.

Hi!

Great extension - I'm using it for cutting out IR filters to the right shape. Using the slowest 70, and brightest 255 settings, I only need 6 passes just using the low power L1! (rather than around 15 with the app)

I've noticed something... my circular filters are a little wonky... about a1.5mm wiggle around the origin. Nothing bad for my filters, but may cause issues for others?

Windows 10. Reproducing the issue:
1 : I drew a 23mm x 23mm circle in Inkscape 1.2
2: Drop down menu: "Path" / "Object to Path".
3: Extensions: LaserPecker.
4: Enter 80 for speed, and 255 for power, and click "Apply".

The resulting cut out shape has a slight flat side around the perimeter of the circle, which caused me to try looking on the NCViewer page. It MIGHT be that my LaserPecker stepper motors are a bit loose, and the following observation is unrelated, but in case it is I've posted the results below:

This is what the shape looks like in the G-Code viewer. The circle looks a little faceted, but also includes what looks to be a steady increasing radius!

This Isn't how the IR filter looks! It's MUCH more subtle in the real cut out! Hence why I think my stepper motors may be dodgy.

Any feedback is welcome!

every time I start the gcode the laser start and end immediately.

Thanks for the detailed documentation!

I just purchased a Laserpecker Pro, and would like to use this device to engrave serial numbers on a batch of items, and other stats specific to each item.

For this, I definitely think I can use your code or modify it slightly to automatically generate the gcode files from the SVGs / images that I generate.

However, I'm curious if its possible to get the generated gcode over to the device without using the Laserpecker Windows or OSX software?

Thanks!
