I created a small bookmarklet plugin to allow for saving and loading project settings.
You can find it here, along with instructions for use:
GF Toolkit Bookmarklet
Please note that this is something I kind of hacked together to provide save/load functionality until Glowforge releases their own from the Hopper®™. As such, I don’t guarantee it’ll work for you, or in all situations, but it is working for me. Please read the entire page of info before trying to use this tool.
Disclaimer: I don’t work for Glowforge, and this code is not oficially supported by Glowforge.
Why did I make this? I had created a fairly complex design to use for testing materials, and when loaded into the UI everything was out of order, and the 37+ operations needed to be manually configured. I found this took me, on average, about 30-40 minutes, so I wasn’t able to run as many tests as I’d like. Being a web developer by trade, I figured I could create my own export/import tool.
A day or two later, and I have something that works (for me at least). Now I can load my design, load my settings file, and print, all in a few minutes. Whee!
Maybe as things come up, I’ll add more to this (hence calling it a toolkit), we’ll see.
Use with caution, double check everything after loading a saved settings file, and if you run into issues, let me know. I don’t, however, guarantee I’ll fix them
