3D model description

This is a remix of the Laser cutting materiale template by Noloxs. The Glowforge recognizes each vector as its own entity and therefore one would have to set each shade of grey on the color wheel separately. To fix this, the color wheel needed to be embedded as a raster image into the svg file in order to use dithering or vary by power. I also removed Noloxs logo so you could add your own there if you like.

The file was edited in Inkscape so it should work in any vector program. There are a few things to remember below.

To use:
Glowforge does not recognize text at this time. There are 2 ways around this.

One is to select all, deselect the color wheel, and then converts all objects to path. This turns the text into paths. Now save as a new svg as the text is no longer editable, so you will want to maintain an original for future tests.

Second option is to save the file as a pdf. Again, make sure it is not removing your orginal svg file because you need it for editing.

Once imported into GFUI and material is selected, click on the color wheel and change it to manual if you are using proofgrade material. Then select vary power if you want to see depth changes by power.
