Until Zaerc says: do you have the opacity on 100% for all shapes? Well yes, I think. No test run for me.It's friday evening now and I out of options.

Restarting the pc and the lasercutter didn't help. The machine just wanted to engrave something that wasn't there. But each time my vectors weren't being cut. I cleaned the file, changed the colors, simplified the drawing. But the machine did not laser anything, we tried a gazilion times. I wanted to test the designs of my basic elements as well, to see how they work together. I thought it would be wise to keep some symmetry in the distances so I also used a circle with a notch at every 45 degrees as a default that could be added to in different shapes and forms and extenstions. I used this fantastic construction kit by PenfoldPlant on Instructables for inspiration this week to create a whacky modifyiable construction kit with strange limbs. This worked beautifully, I set my notch to 2.5mm in my design and started designing some different basic elements. Settings like speed=8 and power=100 were a good start.

I did test with notches as well as round cutouts for my skewers. And I wrote these numbers on the piece itself - and outlined them - so I don't get confused afterwards. I made pairs of squares where each side has a different width for the cutout (top=2.5mm, right=2,6mm, bottom=2.7 mm and left is 2.8mm) so I could test different widths efficiently. I created a connection with a deeper cut and one with a shallower cutout. Best vendetta to frustration is perhaps to them into a dummy tutorial: designing a testcut for your snapkit out of it! This whole process was very frustrating because my basic skills in Inkscape and Illustrator are near zero. It won't take black and white shape images, there's no fabmodule for ours unfortunately, so you have to deliver clean outline designs. I had to do this because it turns out that our local lasercutter only likes files that consist only of 0.001-0.003pt outlines, if lines are thicker the machine will start engraving rather than cutting lines. And then changed stroke to 0.001 pt and no fill. I used the blocking method and then when I was finished I created differences for all the elements to make it one shape.

The update solved the CPU problem and eventually I did my test pieces in inkscape.

  • > drag the symbol to your canvas to use an instance.
  • > double click on symbol to edit it and its instances.
  • Modifying the root symbol later on consequently changes all instances of it. You can transform an object or a group of objects into a symbol and then you reproduce instances of it. Illustrator does have an option that resembles the "cloning" function Inkscape offers. While Inkscape was reinstalling I tried working some more in Illustrator. I updated it to the latest version 0.91 (comes after 0.48 apparently). However after two clones Inkscape started guzzling up 99%-100% (thank you Acitivity Monitor) of my CPU which made it crash. For 3mm carboard, 2.5mm notches worked for this guy. I made some models for 2.5-2.8mm wide notches so I could try some different fits in one go.

    So first I made a test connection in Inkscape to find the right sizing for my model with this material. We are getting 3mm heavy duty cardboard to work with this week. Testing testing: Getting the right snap fit

    Makezine covered my projects in an article about FabAcademy, wheyyyy! That's really cool hey. But for regular internet use, it's great.) But, it only works on Windows.Week 3 - Computer-Controlled Cutting: Lasercutter Create a snap fit construction kit (with multiple ways to put together) AND work with the vinylcutter If you're going to por* sites and such, no one can keep up with blocking those. All ads will be blocked! (Well, assuming you practice relatively safe browsing. And it won't matter which browser you use. That's bar none the best ad blocker I've ever seen. However, if ads are your main concern, and you are on Windows, you should set up your HOSTS file. I don't know anything about the other browsers. I actually did that with the ads for this very site, and it was blocking the ads on this site, when nothing else would block them. And you can even contact the people who manage the filters (at least with that Easy List filter) if you see ads coming through, and they will add them to the block list (filter).

    I can tell you that AdBlock Plus with the Easy List filter works very, very well. Firefox won't block ads without a plugin to do it. For Firefox, you can get addons (or plugins, they seem to use both words for the same thing) to block ads.
