I am working on project for my son for school and i cannot get an output file in gcode...
everytime i try and turn it to gcode .ngc inkscape freezes up i don't know if it's because of how many objects
or if it's to complex i don't know but i only need it to be 100mm by 100mm just trying to engrave
the main issue is we have been trying to run this all week and weekend the the thing is due tomorrow afternoon
Thank you to anyone who can help by either turning it into gcode or explaining to me why it's not working properly
-
I'm running this art in inkscape and using that to xfer into .ncg and opening it up on the linus cnc axis program
-
Probably need a better image than the one posted but I can get the outline engraving, minus the circles, easily enough if it's any help to you.
Tweakie.

I'll get a bigger image here but the txt code you sent will work in axis ? doesn't seem to be doing anything
-
Here is a larger image
The format needed for the machine program is .ngc
if you need to email it's shtk13@gmail.com
-
Sorry, but I don't think the .ngc file extension is a supported Mach3 format. :'(

NC is and i can convert that
-
Here it is in NGC and APPROX 4"X4"

Thank you i'll check this out
-
Not working i am using a different program to run the tests and the machine probably why it isn't working but when i try to get this switched to gcode through inkscape it keep freezing up because it's got to many things im guessing
Your code when put into the program won't read properly
-
Example of a first couple of lines look like when i make it from inkscape
%
(Header)
(Generated by gcodetools from Inkscape.)
(Using default header. To add your own header create file "header" in the output dir.)
M3
(Header end.)
G21 (All units in mm)
(Tool diameter should be at least 10.0 mm)
(Depth, as a function of radius w, must be 10)
(Rapid feeds use safe Z=5.0 mm)
(Material surface at Z=0.0 mm)
(Change tool to Default tool)

The Gcode was created with a LINUX EMC post so it should be fine (;-).
(;-)TP
-
didn't work at all every error possible it seems wrong tool wrong code i dont know i can get it to code in inkscape idk
-
Then you need to hop over to the EMC forum . This is the MACH3 forum we deal in all things MACH3 not EMC.
(;-) TP
-
wanna lead me in the right direction ? found this by chance on google....
-
Here you go a link to the EMC forum(;-)
