Problem description
Hello everyone! I’ve used laserweb in the past to draw SVGs by mounting a pen to my 3D printer and following the gcode toolpaths generated by laserweb. I’ve recently tried to do the same thing but with a much more complex SVG, but my gcode generation consistently keeps timing out after an hour. I looked online to see if I could find anything about this and found this:
I’m not sure whether this timeout is something I can change in settings as I am thinking this gcode will take 3-4 hours to generate, but any help would be much appreciated. If this is something that can’t be changed, does anyone have any other program recommendations that would let me run gcode generation for an extended period of time? Thank you!
- My computer on which I run LaserWeb runs Windows 10.
Edit: I should probably add that I am using an ender 3 Pro that has marlin software, and have a gel pen mounted to it that writes around 0.5mm thickness lines.
