Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inks

@Everyone Sorry I haven't been on here lately... after some people have commented it has re-sparked my interest in the app. I have been working on a completely redesigned version but unfortunately it is very slow and still needs much reworking. @Mr Grumpy With the USB plugged in try: ls /dev | grep ...

Yep, the problem was a permission issue. If you this error message in the extensions-error log under (.config/inkscape) Extension "InkCut v1.0" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency: type: executable location: extensions string: inkcut/inkcutext.py Try this command su...

Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inks

I was able to work around the other problem, but I can't get Inkcut to cleanly cut rectangles. Even in the preview, with offset and overcut turned off, one edge of each rectangle is slanted. Any ideas? http://rcheliguy.dyndns.org/temp/inkcutproblem.jpg -Farrell Looks like another bug, I think it as...

Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inks

Thanks for this! I'm really excited to be able to cut in linux. I'm noticing a few problems. - When I tell the program to cut more than one image, it seems to stack them over itself, basically cutting itself twice. I can work around this and just duplicate the graphic in inkscape, but I figure I'd ...

Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inkscape

#1, correct, I changed that and forgot to update the tooltip For #2, it does represent the width of the material (it's sized by the material width given), however this is not the "cutable" width. It assumes that the blade is lined up with the edge of the material, then adds the margin and ...

Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inkscape

i love your program but i have one problem, no matter what i do it cuts the inverse of what i need. I have a refine mh-635 and have tried putting a check next to the axes but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any help would be appreciated. By inverse do you mean mirrored over the x axis? If so, check...

Re: InkCut Extension, send HPGL directly to cutter from Inkscape

I need that sniffer!!!! It would help me with debugging/writing new code soooo much.

As for the difference, what was your force & speed settings? Seems like it was cutting harder on InkCut (it's set to 80g by default).

Thanks for posting this.

Oh, by the way, DMPL went extinct. I don't know why USCutter still supports that command set on their newer cutters.

Re: UScutter LaserPoint 24" Cutter, Working in Linux

Great, that was causing other cutters to hang in waiting mode. To fix with inkcut simply set the "Distance to feed after cut" to a negative number and it will return to the origin. (append the PU0,0; command)
