Glowforge Dashboard Images

[nicrae82]

I am wondering if anyone has any feedback on the glowforge dashboard images not engraving parts of the image because they are overlapping. I am having some issues with a leaf image and with the zodiac signs. TIA

As far as I know, that is a known result. If you have two engraving areas overlapping, they will be left blank. If this is with a Catalog design, you might want to contact support or the designer. It may be “intentional as designed”, but it might also be an oversight.

Would you show in a screenshot or something which designs your talking about?

That is not the dashboard. That is the workspace.

This is the dashboard:

Did you purchase those designs or create them yourself?

[nicrae82]

They are images in the Glowforge workspace.

[eflyguy]

OK, so where did they come from? The workspace is empty unless you upload an image or use the Add Artwork function (assuming you have premium)…

[nicrae82]

I got them from the add artwork that Glowforge provides.

There are really lots of issues every once in a while with the premium artwork from the Noun Project, so this doesn’t really surprise me. Looks to me like those lines should have been welded/joined…

I’m not sure if that’s the reason, but it’s highly suspect.

[eflyguy]

Agreed. The “premium” artwork is just a feed into a 3rd-party provider (the Noun Project) which were intended for print, not laser cutting. That means many of the designs don’t work well on the Glowforge.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!
