Useful Plasma Thread

Turns out I needed to manually select the image, finally got some gcode generated from this video

I haven't been able to get your build to work on my machine BTW, tried to figure it out but I can't find any reason that it won't work. I can jog my machine with my previous build, however it won't read the inkscape files, nor does it have the THC...

Halp!

OK,are you in the US? If so please PM and I will find time to help you out. This is a very steep hill when you are at the bottom, but it isn't near as steep once you get a hand up over the the first crests.

I am indeed in the US and would greatly appreciate any help you are willing to offer!

Unfortunately not yet, have way to much for the time being, a truck load of raw material got delayed due to some dumb driver, so now i have to deal with a full factory of half finished parts and the delay that caused for our costumer.
By the way managed to nearly finish another plasma cutter, just to make my life even harder, here is a link to a test i did today:


Will try to get it done this week, the tutorial you linked is way to complicated. It can all be done in inkscape.

That's okay. I did actaully get inkscape to generate some gcode for me, but now I can't get the machine to function at all with the grotius setup. I can jog the machine with my previous setup.

The grotius setup is in the Sim folder so is this just an environment issue that I need to address?
