Is anyone aware of whether the Epilog driver can natively handle straight up .svg (and which format) or .eps? Inkscape can handle these — it would be helpful to people with no Illustrator experience to be able to skip using software they're not familiar with.

Since the laser works through a print driver, if the line weight of the line in question is set to .001 inch or less (regardless of units, that wide or less) then it should render as a vector cut. You can print from Inkscape, or other programs, though best results have been seen by printing inkscape-made PDFs. "Hairline" lines won't probably work from any application, but very thin lines will be interpreted as vectors to be cut, not raster/etched. --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 15:10, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

:That may be an issue with using the driver properly. I think you can set what will cut/raster in the advance settings, but I also don't care if there's already a mostly workable workflow for dealing with .eps and .svg. [[User:Jason|Jason]] ([[User talk:Jason|talk]]) 13:46, 25 February 2014 (CST)

List of certified users

Since getting certified entailed having an account set up on the laser cutter computer, that's where/how the list of certified users used to be kept. In a way, that means the list for this tool is the *most* complete. It would probably be possible to pull that list off the computer and put it here. KathyW 12:34, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The true and authoritative list is now driven from the members.pumpingstationone.org server. After a person is authorized, the authorizer should log on to members. and add them to the laser-authorized group. There is a way you can do it from the command line of an ssh client in the space, too, instructions for that are on the wiki. --Rdoeksen (talk) 15:07, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

Inkscape —.svg and .eps

Is anyone aware of whether the Epilog driver can natively handle straight up .svg (and which format) or .eps? Inkscape can handle these — it would be helpful to people with no Illustrator experience to be able to skip using software they're not familiar with. Jason (talk) 12:22, 25 February 2014 (CST)

Since the laser works through a print driver, if the line weight of the line in question is set to .001 inch or less (regardless of units, that wide or less) then it should render as a vector cut. You can print from Inkscape, or other programs, though best results have been seen by printing inkscape-made PDFs. "Hairline" lines won't probably work from any application, but very thin lines will be interpreted as vectors to be cut, not raster/etched. --Rdoeksen (talk) 15:10, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

inskcape .svg warning

Inskscape can print to the lasercutter directly, but "hariline/vector cuts" do not work. It will raster the entire image. The only way I have seen it work is to set line thinkness to .001 inches, and save as a pdf. Then print the pdf from adobe acrobat.

That may be an issue with using the driver properly. I think you can set what will cut/raster in the advance settings, but I also don't care if there's already a mostly workable workflow for dealing with .eps and .svg. Jason (talk) 13:46, 25 February 2014 (CST)
