This is the best tutorial for Inkscape so far, and it went my speed instead of the person doing the tutorial. Thank you

Excellent tutorial, well-paced, and thorough. I watched it 3-4 times to be sure I didn't miss anything. Used it to take a 2D image of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks logo and make a 3D SVG file that I post-processed and printed with my 3D Printer. It was a Christmas gift for a grandson who is a senior there. This process will be used many times in the future for all kinds of special gifts and personal items, including our grandchildren at NC State, Ohio State, & Syracuse.

Hi, I have found your tutorials really informative, I’ve recently purchase a Flux Beamo and been pulling my hair out trying to figure how to do layers. I’ve watched a majority of your videos and feel like I can get somewhere with my laser cutter now, one of the best videos I’ve seen. You deserve a lot more followers

You can restack (change the order of the objects) all at once by going to Extension > Arrange > Restack and then choose Radial Inward as the direction. I've not tested other directions but I assume other ones may work too.

@ashleefalco 6 күн бұрын

@mikep4227 5 күн бұрын

@@ashleefalco I replied with a link to a video I made but doesn't look like it's here anymore so I'll explain it. At 6:16 you Break Apart the Trace Bitmap. Then at 7:00 you drag the teeth over to the solid black Spongebob object. The teeth object is behind the solid black object so you reorder. What you can do, after you Break Apart the Trace Bitmap, is select all of the objects created from the Break Apart. Then go to the Extensions Menu, choose Arrange, and then choose Restack. Another window will pop-up. There is a dropdown where you can select different directions. Radial Inward typically works for me, but I tested it with Top to Bottom and that worked as well. After you choose your direction, click Apply. Now the order of all of the objects created from the Break Apart will be reversed. For example, if you did a restack of the objects you wouldn't have to manually bring each object to the front of the solid black Spongebob object. If there's a better way to send you a link to the video I made please let me know. I'm sure you would understand better if you saw it in action.

Excellent tutorial! I watched the Gnome video you did which enabled it to cut on laser. How can i cut this image in laser similar to Gnome. I was thinking one backing layer and then all pieces of different colours stuck on it to make spongebob. Can you please help on how i can do that :) many thanks

@ashleefalco 2 жыл бұрын

The way I created it, should work for the laser as well. Just change the colors all to no fill with .1 line width and it should be perfect

so you saved Sponge Bob and then you said saved as a "Cut", I am brand new at this never done one thing ever and need to know what does saved as CUT mean, can I use this on my glow forge pro and cut, engrave and score or does saved as cut mean that I have to go in now and change the line colors for engrave and score

@rockfinnegan2114 8 күн бұрын

This is a great tutorial! Thank you! I am having an issue with the separating the black back from the squares. It does not give me the option to move it once I do the break apart. If i move it, the entire thing goes with it and does not leave the cut outs behind. Any suggestions?

@ashleefalco 8 күн бұрын

Click your mouse away from the cutout, leaving it unselected. Then try and click the black piece and move it.

Is it possible to adjust the corners on an individual layer? It seems when i use the "smooth" tool it rounds out my sharp corners and it distorts the actual look of the image

@ashleefalco 2 жыл бұрын

There is a selection to "smooth corners" in the trace bitmap menu. Or you can press the node tool, and change the nodes later on.

its hard for me to be 100% sure what's going on without actually having eyes on what you're doing. But my initial suggestion is to bump up (or lower) the brightness threshold when you're trying to trace bitmap.
