Hope those are useful to someone, I’ve had a bunch of fun today creating the cut files and trying out a few cuts myself. I cut a few from construction paper and one out of 0.206" plywood with construction paper glued on afterwards ( I should have just glued it before )
I have been trying to get a good dragonfly wing for a while so thank you very much for the effort
When the svg file posts, for some reason it is very tiny so where it says the size (66 x 45 say) I frequently add a couple of zeros after and it will be seen. No matter how big the software will keep it on the page. In addition turning on fill, and using darker colors make the design stand out better.
Also, the svg will post the entire white space of the page size too. If you want the wing to be front and center change the page size to match it before uploading. Like so:
(Uploaded with a smaller page size and then manually resizing the resulting svg in the tag like @rbtdanforth previously pointed out.)
And of course zipping and uploading the zip is a good policy to make it more “clickable”.
What is a good program for zipping? and i attempted to make the file larger after resizing it. it appears correct for a second for me then shrinks to oblivion. i changed it from 100 to 1000. not sure what i am doing wrong here. Thx for the info it is greatly appreciated.
Thx i have 7-zip but i must have made an error when creating it as when i attempted to upload it says not a supported file format. I was attempting to have both of them up there a resized file with shading and a zip below it.
This is a fantastic design and super generous to share! I love the way you did not design all small segments with straight lines but kept it organic- how did you do that ??
I cut it in 1mm thin veneer. Not yet decided on how to mount it but the shadow of the wing makes it even more incredible!!
looks a lot better now lol.
