So I can even get you started with the gcode.īut I just can't say with absolute certainty, that Inkscape can do it All. And I've learned a lot about using those gcode tools on my own, trying to help people with them.

As far as I understand, you would need the vector file, no matter whether you use gcode or some other kind of code or technology, with the CNC. We certainly can help you prepare the image, to provide the vector info that will be needed.

They have an English section, but they haven't answered any messages in over a year - you'll see some messages from me there - yet the rest of the forum appears to be active.) If so, visit the forum shown in Extensions menu > Gcode > About.

(Although if you happen to speak Russian, you might be able to get their attention. The sad, really sad part of it, is that the people who have created Inkscape's gcode tools are apparently no longer available to provide support for them. Wouldn't it take a super advanced system to produce something like that fish plaque, without any sanding? No matter what, you'd still have to do a good bit of sanding, right? Maybe Inkscape can do it all? Hhmm.just refering to my limited experience with woodworking. (Although personally, I don't think I would like that look.) And there's a good chance that inkscape's gcode tools can even to do that part. I'm absolutely positive that Inkscape could do it, if having sharp edges at each change of depth would be acceptable. It's that gentle slope where I'm not sure if Inkscape's gcode tools can create the proper gcode. It seems to be saucer-like, where it's most shallow towards the center (if the fish wasn't there). Notice on the body of the fish (and other places too, but it's more obvious on the body) how there's a smooth contour or slope, from the fattest (middle) part of the body, over to the right edge of the body, just to the right and below the large top fin, where it gently slopes down to the face of the background area? And it also looks like that background area is not flat either. And Inkscape has a lot of gcode tools, which can produce the gcode for most, if not all of it. Inkscape can definitely prepare the artwork side of it, prepare the vector file. There's only one point I'm not clear on, as to whether Inkscape can do it all alone.
