OMG! Look at these test results. It should not be called Experimental feature anymore.

OMG OMG OMG

WOW! What a Beauty! (Pun Intended)

What are you using for a controller board?
And is this using LaserWeb?

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 13, 2016, 5:22pm

Ramps1.4 w/ Arduino Mega + Marlin. Raseter codes generated by LasweWeb. Run though SD Card. Still issues running larger codes over USB, may be its slower control board, but SD Card works great!

Scott_Thorne · February 13, 2016, 5:24pm

Nice work…you’re getting better at this man…that looks great!

Sean_Cherven · February 13, 2016, 5:25pm

Yeah, running code over USB has always been slower than running from SD Card. This goes for 3D Printers also.

ThantiK · February 13, 2016, 5:27pm

Wow. +Peter van der Walt you are some kind of magician.

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 13, 2016, 5:30pm

@Scott_Thorne Thanks buddy. You know I printed this last night and I got bit busy after I started printing, and about half way I took quick look at it and My Mind = Blown!

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 13, 2016, 5:32pm

@Sean_Cherven Actually Its like some kind of sync issues. USB probably talking too fast to Ramps and its buffer it getting full and then it does all weird spyderweb thing on top of your actual print / Cut

Sean_Cherven · February 13, 2016, 7:03pm

Oh I see… I know with 3D Printers, the buffer runs out and the USB Serial data can’t keep up

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 13, 2016, 10:53pm

+Peter van der Walt What Pixel / Dot size to keep the raster same as original picture? What dpi should be the original Pic?
I uploaded 6x8" 300 dpi pic for rastering and its taking loooooooong to create the codes. I guess next time I should go with 72dpi.

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · February 14, 2016, 12:53am

@ChiRag_Chaudhari What material is that?

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 14, 2016, 2:17am

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty its 1/8" plywood from menards

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · February 14, 2016, 2:36am

thanks @ChiRag_Chaudhari .One more favor. could you send me the gcode?

Sean_Cherven · February 14, 2016, 2:40am

Could you make the gcode public? I’d like to give it a shot once I upgrade my K40

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 14, 2016, 4:05am

@Sean_Cherven +Ariel Yahni Oh ha sure man. I will post a link tomorrow once I get to the shop.

ChiRag_Chaudhari · February 14, 2016, 4:07am

Yeah guys, here is the Original Picture we are all messing with.

Just load it in LW and play with the settings.

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · February 14, 2016, 4:17am

+Peter van der Walt does settings should be on the wiki. All succesfull or good raster by material, firmware, etc

Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty · February 14, 2016, 4:20am

+Peter van der Walt Ill take care of that once @ChiRag_Chaudhari confirm the settings

Scott_Thorne · February 14, 2016, 1:16pm

@ChiRag_Chaudhari …I’m going to run a copy of that pic on mine today and see how it turns out…I stumbled across a new setting that I wanna check out.
