![]() ![]() I just tried this per your instructions and only got as far as trying to generate the laser path. Set it to thickness of your object to print. Added vector plugin with adjustments for Overlord.īoth plugins have Z Offset that should be used to set up "focus distance" Both Overlord plugins will now show up under "Overlord" plugin. It now generates gcode file, not txt oneġ. You don't really need to travel slow when no engraving process happensĥ. Before actual engraving starts printer turns laser with low power for 5 seconds to show you center of print giving some time to adjust objectĤ. So if you are printing image 50mm x 50mm, specify -25mm for both x and y offsetģ. ![]() Images are printed from 0 to max, but overlord printing area is about -60 to 60. This height will be added to default 50mm overlord usesĢ. You are able to specity height of your object. * Added custom Overlord specific adjustments to the plugin:ġ. I've did a print with 500 and thin elements were missing as you see on photo above Output folder now should have an original image, a preview image and a gcode txt file. Vector images should produce better quality, Raster is better for images will fills.Ħ. Vector images are printed following vector pathes. Raster images are printed line by line, like dot matrix printer does. Make sure you convert your object to path and selected it Please note how pathes on Windows should look likeįor converting from VECTOR images (i.e. Path G:/Graver is an output path you want to use. For Overlord that's about 100x100, may be bigger as it is not rectangular. Resize the inkscape document to match the dimension of planned printing area. Mac ) "/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/extensions"įor unix (& mac maybe) change the permission on the file:ģ. Windows ) "C:\Inkscape\share\extensions" Simply copy all the files in the folder "Extensions" of Inkscape Try starting with 50x50 mm and -25 offset for both X and YĬompare original dreamlord print and what I've did with inkscape I've just added few important for Overlord options, but you should keep in mind you should be careful, especially with X Y offsets to keep images inside real Overlord printing area. Both plugins here are originally done for other laser hardware by different people. ![]()
