Interesting, I’ll have to try it sometime. I don’t engrave much on the GF, but now that I also work in STL/STEP I might try it out more. I’m usually going the ‘other way’ converting SVG to STL.

Here’s another conversion link - Convert SVG to STEP. It’s tricky to get it right, or I just don’t know what I’m doing, could go either way. But fun to experiment with.

Thx!

Yeah that’s pretty cool, and works quickly. Nice.

It depends a bit what STL you use, but it work pretty good for me

Thanks! Link saved for future reference.

I have been doing this with Blender and/or Nomad Sculpt.
