- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- As requested, here's my take on an Inkscape tutorial for engineers and Shaper Origin users. Find an overview of all mentioned topics (and additional info/links) below.
This beginner tutorial (part 1 of 2) focuses on getting your Inkscape configured correctly and explaining the most important aspects of designing. If you follow along on your own computer, you should be ready to make robust designs for your Shaper Origin, CNC mill or laser cutter by the end of this video. I hope you learn something - enjoy!

This is FANTASTIC. I am about half way through Part 1 and I am catching what you are throwing. I have Ver 1.2 so I have a few differences on where things are located but that is fine. What is crucial for me is seeing what icon you are clicking. I will go all the way for sure.
Awesome, thanks for sharing and have fun moving forward 😉
thank you very much putting all this time into this, very useful, clear and well instructed!
Thank you for your feedback and I'm happy you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you so much for this video series! It is late here on the east coast of the US, but I plan to watch both parts and follow along with Inkscape tomorrow.
No problem at all, imagine how late it is in Germany 😉 Have fun tomorrow!
Man!!! Thank you for doing this!! This is going in my saved video list for sure!
Glad to hear that 😊 You're welcome!
Wow! I just finished a diy router build. Your contribution is awesome. Big thanks.
Thanks for watching 😊
Great Video, Very well presented and to the point. Hoping you will get some more videos out soon. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing👍
Very helpful! Hugs. I bought a Shaper Origin and have been studying sw tools for design, and you have shaved me lots of mistakes.
Thanks for doing this! The video is brilliant.
Merci and thank you as well for suggesting it!
Great tips! I can't wait to watch Part II. The geometric bounding box setup alone was worth the price of this tutorial; I screwed up my MFT tabletop because I had it on visual :)
Sweet! Glad you were able to take away some new info.
Wait what my tutorial has a price? I thought I made it extensive, not expensive 😁
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!
You're welcome, I hope it helps you with your upcoming projects 😊
great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Great job. Thank you.
Thanks, glad I could help.
Awesome. Very good explanations.
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated 😊
OMG you are proud of this machine congratulations thumbs up
Indeed, and proud of the awesome team at Shapertools for engineering it so well 😊 Thanks for stopping by!
Great Tutorial
Thanks for these two GREAT video clips, I find I keep coming back to review these points. I am recently retired engineer, and just finished a small DIY CNC that I am learning about all this stuff whilst doing a few projects for Christmas. I am a newbie to CNC and inkscape, so this was most helpful to me.
Any chance you could review the area selection under the inkscape gcode extensions?
That's awesome to hear 😊 Thanks for sharing your story and all the best for your DIY CNC project!
I haven't yet used the GCode extensions (and don't have any workflows which require direct GCode manipulation), so I'm afraid I have no useful knowledge to share in this regard.
U da man! thank you. Great video!
Merci and thanks for watching!
About 7:00 in v1.32 the Document Properties is very different.
Muy buen tutor
como hago para instalar esta version en mi apple computador
At 6:30 you changed Behavior > Steps > inset/outset to 0.1000 mm. In the image I see that you set the arrow keys and scale to 1.000 mm. I did the same just because it is in your video. Was this the correct action on my part?
That intro tho!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi, good tutorial, I like it. I work on my own illustrations which I created in Inkscape (they are for my book). I have couple questions, if you can explain in details following:
1. What is the difference between Inkscape SVG file and Plain SVG file which you suggested to use for saving a file? How it affect quality of images or illustrations for print.
2. For preparing SVG files for print: how "Simplify" command affects quality of images or illustrations.
Thank you.
Hi and thanks for watching! Concerning your questions:
1. You can compare the two "formats" by opening them in a text editor instead of Inkscape. If I'm not mistaken, Inkscape saves some more Inkscape-specific information overhead in the "Inkscape SVG", but the overall geometry and quality of your design isn't affected. There's just some devices that get confused with the "Inkscape SVG". It depends on your printing software (or printing company) which format is more suitable, but exporting "Plain SVG" won't hurt.
2. When using "simplify", Inkscape looks at the points in your shapes and tries to reduce their quantity while retaining the geometry. Let's say you drew a potato using 200 points and use simplify - Inkscape will try to re-draw that shape with, say, 50 points. If you run simplify again, you might end up with 30 points, and so on. This DOES change your original shape slightly, because it's just an approximation, but if you don't over-use simplify, you get a "cleaner" shape with less nodes that looks almost exactly like your original one.
@@BodgedButWorks Thank you very much. I couldn't even imagine to receive your answer so quickly. Good explanation. Good luck.
@@gregoryobukhovsky1125 You're welcome, have fun designing 😊
Thanks for all the tips, I'm just wondering if there's a minimum size strike that origin can read? I recently set it very thin black stroke with black full, and the origin showed the cut as a guide line.
Hi!
I'm unaware of any minimum stroke width requirements for Origin. You could double-check that the hexadecimal color string ist indeed #000000ff (no red & green & blue, full opacity).
Thanks for the professional tutorial. In my case the grid units in the document properties as well as the steps (preferences/behaviour...) can't be changed to mm from the px unit. can you help with that? many thanks in advance
Hmm, I haven't experienced that before. Is your Inkscape installation up-to-date? Are you working on a new design or on one obtained from someone else?
@@BodgedButWorks thanks for the quick response. i just reinstalled the newest version to make sure i am not outdated or have old bugs on board. did not change a thing. i am about to import dxf designs created in solidworks. main goal is to increse efficiency by having closed lines recognized as one shape. i hope that will work with those settings remaining on px.
I'm just starting out with SVG files, and the Shaper Origin. I don't quite understand what you meant about changing the inches value under "Steps". Is it ok to set the mm to 0.1000 and then just change the drop-down to inches?
The "Step" parameter in the settings determines how much for example the "Inset"/"Outset" commands will enlarge/shrink your shapes per step. I set it to mm because that's what I'm used to, you can set it to an Inch value of your liking.
At 6:45 you use Outset and Inset to change the size of the rectangle, but the edges are no longer square, and the corners no longer sharp. I'm trying to use the Outset tool, and I'm seeing the same thing happen with objects and paths on my computer. How can I fix this so that the basic shape remains?
start with a document that has px as the units and scale of 1. It's ok to change the units after that, and let the scale value change automatically. Clearly, there is a bug in the software.
At 6:15 you selected Transforms and deselected "Scale stroke width" to ensure it used your preferred width but I don't understand how you set this width.
If I understand correctly, you want to change the width/thickness of a shape's stroke. Take a look at 24:30 in the video concerning the respective Inkscape toolbar (Fill & Stroke).
the latest Inkscape is out.. Now you have more tools to create tutorials
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll give this some thought 👍🏼
This doesn't work
