There are further options to decide the gap between the scan lines which cover the area.

This means you can engrave lines into something using just cuts of a lower power.

Please change the file syscfg - Silvertail.ini, find NeedRevise1 under section TWOAXIS0 and change it to NeedRevise0 - a revised download may be provided soon.

It can also work with images directly using them to direct engrave areas.

Otherwise INI file has become corrupt (perhaps on a crash of the program).

Copying the original again by running the bat file fixes this.

The tolerance value is the distance between separated pieces - 0.01 is a fine value for this.

Click Ok and the pieces are joined up to make the laser cut both more efficient and much more rigorous in keeping your design correct.

Press Yes on the dialogue box to save as ECP, which exports up to 3 files; the.ECP which is similar to an SVG of the object with colours, the.INI contains the cut information and the.G00 contains the engraving information.

To fix this either re-apply the default config file settings, or remove the line CheckLayerCode-1 under DataCheck in the syscfg.ini file.

If you encounter any other tools or options which cause the export to break please document it here.

This will help create copies of an object which can be altered so they overlap nicely.

It isnt a perfect way to tessellate an object (using one cut line for two objects for instance) but is good enough for non-tessellating objects to be multiplied for multiple copies quickly, and is a lot easier than using Inkscape to do the same thing.

Laser Cut 6.1 How To Setup The

See the Inkscape page for how to setup the correct palette for exporting valid colours to DXF.

There are more advanced options available and other formats may retain further colour.

For simple jobs you can also recolour the objects in LaserCut itself.

Try lowering it to 300 or 200mm instead at a lower power to achieve the same effect.

It requires high power however to make any effect at this speed and may result in some bad engraving.

The order of the colours may be important - cutting last is usually the best method to get a clean finish since if you cut first the item may dropmove when released from the surrounding material.

For cuts this is usually 50 or lower, for engraves 300 and higher.

The maximum is 400 speed since cuts can go both on the X and Y axis at once.

For cuts 65 and altering the speed is usually best, and for engraves a power of 30-40 seems to be better.

This is so it wont burn the corners since when the motors make it turn it will hold the laser in position for a little longer.

This notably can cause a good laser file to look odd, make sure it is set in tandem with the Power setting.
