Hi Everyone, Finally had time to test out my LaserCube 7.5 W Ultra in the venue that we’ll be using. Happy to report that it should be sufficient for our intended use case; creating a virtual backdrop for a ballet performance. However, as I consider entering the design phase for this project, I’m …

Hi @David_Eames , Forgive my delayed response - it’s a very long and complicated subject and realistically I probably need to make a whole video about it! In the meantime, the advice above is good. Here’s a quick fly-past of some top-level guidance. 1. Be realistic about what a single laser can ac…

For the record, images have been created using Inkscape, Illustrator, etc. When I search for pre-rendered SVG images for illustrative purposes, I am only able to find images using for engraving and laser cutting. Is there a repository for an of these types of images on the Web?

If using Inkscape, dont auto trace images. Very often, the auto traces the outside snd inside edges of line so it effectively doubles your point count. Manually tracing using the Pen tool is how you cam minimize point count snd make better graphics. All the images in LaserOS have been optimized for …

As a general rule, for any laser device, don’t create graphics with more than 500 points. It doesn’t matter what laser software you use.

I meant to post about this. I tried to convert some simple clip arty images into SVGs to load into Liberation and they would not load. I actually sourced them as SVG files but they did not work, I opened them in Inkscape, exported them again, still no dice. What is the step by step process for con…

Can you send me the svgs so I can take a look?

The trick is making sure your SVG shapes have a Stroke of at least 1 set. Its helpful if the stroke is not Black.(but Liberation has a tool to compensate for this).

Thanks everyone; very helpful tips. I feel as though I’m trying to create fairly simple geometric shapes. I’ve included an image below as an example. I do understand that there are a lot of lines involved, which is probably what is skewing the design. What, if anything, could I do to simplify the i…

Hi David, That looks like it’s come from an AI-generated bitmap, so the next step would usually be to manually trace the lines in something like Inkscape (At the moment there aren’t really any AI tools that generate clean, laser-friendly vectors. Even the newer ones in Illustrator tend to produce …

Hii Seb! Thanks for the input. This image is from a bitmap image; I’ve traced the image in Inkscape to get rid of messy conversion artifacts; the result, while closer to what I’m looking form, is still uneven and too busy. I’ve got one laser to work with, so across the canvas will not be an option …

It’s difficult to say without seeing where you’re at, but feel free to upload the SVG and I’ll take a look. But if you made a single stroke trace of that entire image, it’s gonna be too much for one laser. Especially with all the tight corners! Seb
