I need to cut out precise measurements, or at least close.
I double checked my export file options, I’ve re-calibrated the lid camera 3 times, I’ve made my measurements 3 times, I double checked the measurements in adobe illustrator, I’ve made sure not to adjust the scale after uploading the svg to the glowforge, and I am making sure the material thickness is accurate.
It seems no matter what I do it always comes out smaller than it should.
I made it 200mm long, but when I upload it to glowforge, it is 150mm long.
I’m sorry you ran into trouble with scaling when uploading your designs, but I’m glad to see that you’ve marked @dwardio’s suggestion as the solution! In addition to the advice they gave regarding the “responsive” checkbox, here are additional settings which customers find work well when saving SVG files in Illustrator:
I’m going to close this thread. If you run into trouble again, or have any questions, please post a new topic here on the forum or email us at support@glowforge.com and we’ll be happy to help!
