This is a take on someone else’s upload. I added rings around the engrave to see about unfocused scores at various powers. The first line after the % numbers is 0.10" above the material, second is 0.20" above, etc. I may have over complicated it. There are 76 separate score lines in 76 colors. This test was done on 0.32" thick bamboo cutting board from Walmart. I was going for a wider score. The outside ring at full power is about 0.034" wide. Third ring out is about 0.03", and second ring is about 0.025".
(Note to self, if you aren’t 1000% sure that the laser won’t go through, don’t put new PG Medium Draftboard under it. - it went through at the turns, but not all the way through the draftboard.) BUT! What that does tell me is I can CUT Bamboo!
I don’t think so. I agree it was a little daunting, but the good news is that once you’ve done it, the GFUI will remember it for any material you put in.
In theory, yes, you can share settings files from my bookmarklet. It’s just a json file.
However, when you import a design, the GF app gives every color setting a different ID, and gives the design a unique ID. I’m 100% sure this id is different for every design uploaded, so two people uploading the same design will end up with different ids.
Since the settings file uses these id’s, it may not work, as the tool tries to “guess” which layer was which when the ids don’t match.
If by hex you mean the colors used in the original uploaded file, they don’t exist in the app. If you upload an image that uses colors to separate operations, you’ll notice that once it’s in the app, those colors are gone. This is so GF app can set it’s own colors to denote ignore, cut, score, engrave, and highlight (for mousing over, etc.) Because of this, they need to give everything a unique ID, but again, that’s unique per user per uploaded image.
My script was kind of a hack to add save functionality that didn’t exist. There may well be a better way to do it so things can be shared, but I didn’t find one digging into the code. Again, it will probably work, as long as the GF app loads the individual operations in the same order.
