Thanks, Paul. Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Glad to hear you found it helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad to, thanks!

why?

I hear you! Glad it was helpful.

Thanks! I have a variety of size straight cutters, from 1/4" down to 1/32" diameter. The thickness of the material, the size of the letters to cut, and the "sharpness" of the font factor into what size I use. You can also get away with using a larger cutter when cutting out letters. Smaller diameters help when pocketing out the inside.

@@ShumanProjects Thank you!

Thanks, Rodrigo. I use a variety of bits for text. The font size will influence the bit diameter you want. The three bits that come with Origin can do lots of work. The large 'coffee' sign here was cut with the V bit. The 'give thanks' is MDF cut out with the 1/8" bit. I did buy a set of PCB endmills that go down to 1/32" that I use for pocket cutting smaller text.

thanks

Ça y est, c'est bon, encore merci pour ce tuto

Thanks you! Glad this was helpful.

@@ShumanProjects Sais tu comment n'avoir qu'une seule ligne a usiner car chaque fois, j'ai un contour complet des lettres comme sur ta vidéo ?

There are a few ways to get single stroke fonts. The new Origin extension can do it in-tool. Inkscape includes one single stroke font: Extensions -> Render -> Hershey Text -> Sans 1-stroke. You can also hand edit a path in Inkscape to delete all but one side of a regular font. You can also use a non-single stroke font and play with the offsets on tool.

@@ShumanProjects Merci, oui j'ai l'extension sur Origin mais il n'y a qu'une seule police et en majuscule donc pas très bien... Je sais qu'on peut jouer avec l'offset mais ça a ses limites .... Pour Extensions -> Render -> Hershey Text -> Sans 1-stroke, je n'y suis pas arrivé, je vais encore essayer ... Merci beaucoup pour ton aide

Interesting. Windows 10? Does your account have admin privileges or is there a separate admin user on that machine?

@@ShumanProjects Yes, I'm using Windows 10 and I have Admin privileges as its my personal desktop computer. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can figure something out. Video is very helpful with using the fonts but it would be good to get some new fonts into Inkscape. Thanks for the response

Phil, I restarted Inkscape and the fonts were in the menu. Thanks

There is a Fillet/Chamfer path effect that might be what you are looking for. I don't use it on my lettering since I tend to finish with small bits. Check out this answer showing a couple screenshots of the tool and see if it fits your need: superuser.com/questions/640954/inkscape-rounding-corners-of-shapes

Shuman Projects Thank you! I’ll try that out!

@@ShumanProjects Great video, had no idea about google fonts, that's super helpful. Your comment mentions finishing with a small bit, can you indicate what exact bits in what sequence you would typically use to cut something like this?

Thanks! The bit size really depends on the overall size of the font. I bought a set of 1/8" down to 1/32" bits intended for printed circuit board manufacturing that work really well. I tend to start with the largest bit that fits in most places, then switch to a smaller bit to do a final pass to cleanup the corners.

I don't have any experience with it, but it does export SVG and a quick test seems to indicate it preserves scale too. If anyone used this for design, I'm interested in how it works for a full project.

Shuman Projects I just want a grant for my classroom and I’m really familiar with Google draw if there is a way to prove it works I’d be in business. I’m hoping to bring the shape or origin to my students.

I played around with it a little today. The shapes and text exported well, but the scaling was a little off so everything was a bit larger than it should have been. This is a common units problem with SVGs between systems, not unique to Origin. I'd suggest reaching out to Shaper.

Shuman Projects Thank you for doing that for me I appreciate that.

Shuman Projects Thank you for taking the time to look into it!

That is awesome. Sometimes we just use the tools we know best to solve a problem! Inkscape also has the Hershey font for making single path text. Origin also includes a text feature in the Goldengate software release for making text on tool without a computer.

Thanks. I made the name tag a bit over two years ago -- before Shaper added text to the origin. I don't know if Inkscape addressed this issue, but I remember needing to "clean up" the Hershey single stroke font because Shaper had a problem with it. If I remember right it was that Shaper expected a single path element to be continuous, so something like "t" would need to be spilt into two paths.

Yea, I've seen that on some Inkscape Hershey letters, like x. I primarily use full fonts, not single path text so I have just dealt with fixing up the few Hershey paths I've used.

@@ShumanProjects If you need a Hershey font again, the ones I put in my GitHub repository have been fixed. I only did the two single stroke fonts. To can see them at marknahabedian.github.io/DesignWithSVG/hershey/fonts/index.html.

You are definitely on the forefront of CNC using a mobile OS. Inkscape does run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. If you are looking for something for iOS, check out Affinity. I don't have any experience with it, but it is a popular option.

Shuman Projects cool video dow I did learn some stuff from it not gonna lie
