laser engraving

Asked by JD Poulos

I bought an Eleks Maker laser engraver from Banggood.com and I want to use it for laser engraving wood. I installed the extension from J Tech Photonics for Inkscape. Can I send the G code created in Inkscape directly to my laser engraving machine for burning into the wood or do I need to have another piece of software to send the files?

Thanks.

Hi JD Poulos,

not using any engraving software myself, so I cannot know. Do you have a link to the extension you installed? Did it come with any usage instructions? It's not an official Inkscape extension (at least as far as I can judge from the name you gave), so maybe asking the author of the extension would be a good first step.

Kind Regards,

Can you help with this problem?
