A quick HOW-TO make GCODE in INKSCAPE (for Andy) :o)

Just a quick silly example of making some GCODE output from some text in INKSCAPE (V.0.92) and simulating it in CAMOTICS software.

I've done another quick vid showing the same process in INKSCAPE v1.2.2 (March2023) it's the same process....

Thank you for the video, like others have commented, pretty straight forward compared to others, but I hasten to add, I am not knocking them, they are trying to help, and I thank them for their efforts.
I am a bit like yourself in that I don’t use some programs a lot, and end up forgetting how I did things in the past, so I watch, then re-watch and write down what the steps are for later use, after running through the script a few times to iron out the bits I got wrong, and keep for next time I need to do a similar project.
So once again thank you.

Thank a lot Just getting started with my home brew machine all wood for now all the best from john In Texas

I spent a long time looking for this information on the newest version of inkscape. Thank you so much for the well done video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Paranoia kicks in before I even start watching, Oh a different Andy! Ok lets see if you can add to your collection of andy's I need to get started properly with this!

Thank you!! This is the 1st video that's actually explained it step by step. And I watched a lot of videos 🤣

[aborntexan]

Great work! I've been looking for a video just like this. Thanks!!

[tompreaney]

thank you oh so much for making an obscure thing clear!

A simple concise guide to get started with this workflow
Thank You.
also the CAMotics software is a nice simple interface to view the gcode.
all in all a workflow that is much simpler (for me) than the other free options I have looked into.
to be clear I have used inkscape so that part makes it a reduced learning curve,
and inkscape has some very powerful tools for making 2d art.
but you were very concise in the instructions which lent itself to switching from
the video to the program to do the example myself and learn the procedure.
well done!

SUPER THANKS!!!

Finally someone explained it well =)

Hello Dingo, nice vid. This is how i do it :)
1. Document properties to worktable dimensions.
2. Generate the POINTS than leave them where they are normally.
3. Generate tools library and edit it! Feeds, diameter, depth step.
4. Area for pockets....
5. Bla bla bla bla :)

You can have multiple depths using layers. However i wonder
what Graffiti does? Cheers.

Thank you for this video, so helpful! How would I code the file so it cuts the whole letter instead of just the outline?

My green box from path to gcode isn't showing up. The default tool box. What is it?

I cant get the right setup to generate gcodes for the plasma. When I visualize in Camotics I get some sort of artefact...

How can we generate a G-code for robotic tufting gun using Inkscape,

I have the following issue while using the laser in my Ender 3-Pro from Creality:
The height can be customized, and the printer responds to Z offset changes. (software, screen, or Gcode)
The machine, I heard it switch on/off, although it does not engrave at all from laser speed 15 to 3, 000 mm/min that I tried.
I just see a mild sign of work when I put my eye close, but nothing noticeable.
The laser won't light up by itself. I have to go to the screen of the printer and adjust the Fan Speed 100% for every print.
Even though, the gcode file has M106 S255 in several and M107 at the end.
CAN YOU HELP ME TO MAKE THE LASER WORK....? it had not been an easy process, I am almost frustrated.
Thanks.

Hey my default tool green screen isn't showing up on inkscape path to g code I looked everywhere any idea

[johi]

How do I set up the setting screen on the right side? My Inkscape pops up the setting window I am working with. I want the window to be steady in the right side. I have View-Wide screen.
