It does seem to generate a weird huge cross in Inkscape but when I check the Gcode the blue and green line paths don't appear in bCNC. I have rebuilt the edges completely of my design but it doesn't look like the thing I made anymore. I think I really should try to get Gcodetools working because eventually I want to use a tool changer for different colored parts.Įdited 2 time(s). But I am still getting the same error in Gcodetools. ![]() Okay, so I removed the right side and duplicated the left side with a mirror in Rhino and reconnected all the lines correctly. Next time I'll draw my artworks in Rhino in line art and export it to DXF because I previously worked in Illustrator but it seems Illustrator has a tendency to generate a lot of errors. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it and see if that helps. Thanks a lot for your insight! Is there a way that I can find this out myself so that I can find and fix these errors in the future? You may be able to correct them by mirroring the left side. There are errors in lotus.svg at the two inner sharp points on the right hand side. Seems to work really well on all my files, but it doesn't to a nice job on curves sadly. To support servo moves with M280 (both pen up and down) and add M400's in between the servo moves. I have just hacked this plugin GcodePlot I hope someone knows the solution for me. ![]() The file that does want to generate is this one:Īre there errors in my Lotus drawing? And would anyone know how I can fix it? Unless I can make the Lotus drawing work in this system I have to start looking into better ways to generate gcode. The file that doesn't want to generate is this one: And I've built such a wonderful machine (that still needs tweaking and upgrades). This is why I am looking for a working Gcode generator that works on a Mac. The Gcodetools forum has been dead/inactive for years and I tried to export my file with 3 different inkscape versions and all give the same errors on most of my files. Worst part is that I can export all individual lines that are in the file, but when I try to export all the lines together I get this error. The paths are all checking out correctly and I have managed to create a mediocre gcode file with another gcode generator so the file should be good.

Somehow I am able to generate gcode for only a really small amount of designs that I made. [ Anyway, I am currently using Gcodetools within Inkscape but I'm running into some severe problems. ![]() Using rsvg directly yields the same outcome so I suspect it's the culprit here.Hi all, I am currently building a CoreXY pen plotter and have gotten acceptable results, check this video: RSVG doesn't convert my image properly (artifacts, letters are inverted etc). But regardless of what I do, rsvg is used and not inkspace. I tried to do the same on a machine with redhat 6.10 and installed both ImageMagick and Inkscape with 'yum install'.
