Laser cutting material template remixed for Glowforge

thingiverse

This is a remix of the Laser cutting materiale template by Noloxs. The Glowforge treats each vector as an individual entity, so one must set each shade of grey on the color wheel separately. To resolve this issue, embed the color wheel as a raster image into the svg file in order to use dithering or vary power levels. I also removed Noloxs logo to allow you to add your own if desired. The file was edited using Inkscape and should be compatible with any vector program. Please note the following instructions: To use this template, remember that Glowforge does not recognize text at present. There are two possible solutions: One option is to select all objects, then deselect the color wheel and convert all objects to paths. This will transform the text into paths. Save the new svg file separately, as the original will no longer be editable. Maintain a copy of the original for future reference. Another option is to save the file as a pdf. Ensure that this does not delete your original svg file, as you will need it for editing purposes. After importing the file into GFUI and selecting the material, click on the color wheel and change it to manual mode if using proofgrade material. Then select vary power levels to achieve depth changes by power adjustment.
