If you chose a step of 4 mm, Maslow will cut 4 passes at a z plunge depth of -4, -8, -12, -16 from the top layer that is labeled “cut” in this example and the “tab” layer will cut at 19.1 mm. With 3/4" ply, the total depth will be 19.1 mm. The second set of numbers represents your workpiece total cut depth that maslow will cut (in x passes of step depth defined in the colored box previously made). Wherever you place the first orientation point on the left, that will be the home point from which the drawing is referenced in webcontrol or groundcontrol. Orientation points tell your maslow where to cut with respect to home. Set up origin points with the same layer selectedĮxtensions->gcodetools->orientation points Cutting successfully at 4 mm can be done and even 5 mm, but there is a proportional speed drop that must accompany it to generate fine dust and the bit cool so it doesn’t overheat.ī. Depth step is the depth your tool will cut in 1 pass in mm. Penetration feed is 800 for the z insertion for a first gen z axis. Penetration angle is always 90 for maslow because the router on the sled is flat on the work surface. This picture for this example was cut at 550 with a 1/4" bit. You can cut at 750, but it may not be good quality and your tool will dull faster if it gets hot. Set your feed rate based on your material in mm/min (between 300 and 800). change diameter to 6.35 if you are using a 1/4" bit or 3.175 if you are using a 1/8th inch bit. or just click to select the text and then click on the text tool bar on the left or the right side of the page. If your attempts to edit add numbers over the top, then undo and retry. Do this by double clicking on them and then when you get the text cursor you can edit them. If you paste it in and it isn’t lined up, you can move it and it will snap to the other layer so it will be lined up perfectly.Īfter pasting, they may not line up, so move it if you need to. With both layers visible, you should not be able to tell them apart, but you can toggle which one you see hiding or viewing it in the layer viewer.

In the layer viewer on the right, you can select which layer is visible by clicking on the eye. Move the tab layer below the first layer as a matter of convention because it is intuitive that the top layer gets cut first, then the tabs at the bottom get cut last. Using our review tools, you can even check specific elements and rescale your whole design to match.-rename it “tabs” by using the right click menu.

Just check that the values match what your file should be and update if necessary.

Sculpteo lets you update your scale on the laser cut page.

Inkscape for example assumes a millimetre is equivalent to 96dpi, but depending on what software were previously used with your file, this may not always be the case. This is because different software use different ways of determining what a unit of measurement is. Sometimes, when you upload your design, you’ll see that the scale of your design is not what you expected. One important thing when you upload your file is to pay attention to the scale.
