Thanks @stevenrhenry for the fantastic write up! You’re one in a million. I know from many coding projects that no one want to do documentation so I thank you for your tremendous effort.
I too am working on a Flitetest build:
I hand cut a few plans and chose this design because it has many difficult to hand cut pieces which are easy on the Glowforge.
Moved testing results to:
Foamboard testing 3/16" thick 20x30" Readi-Board
Craft ply 1/8 - Midwest Products 12x24
One note on text in Flitetest files.
- The big “A,B,C” fold type text is already an outline path (not font) and does not require conversion.
- The numbers in the circle are text, require conversion to paths, and are useful to identify pieces. This took minimal time to convert.
- The remaining text (right of circle) is not useful and takes a long time to engrave. This also requires highest engrave DPI and is not worth the time in printing as it takes so long.
