Share your Generator Finds!

Likewise if you want to work on it in raster mode, in gimp you can desaturated your image (this converting to greyscale) then use curves to make a “step” instead of a curve shape to converts it to black and white at whatever “threshold” you like. You’ll have far more control over the output.

I just added it for the sake of completeness.
Some people might not have the access or skills to make it on their own.

I still use an online box generator rather than fire up Fusion 360.

Yeah me too on box generator sites. I have yet to need f360.

Does anybody remember that site where you upload your svg that has multiple pieces and it automatically re-arranges them to make them have the best fit? I had it once but now I can’t find it.

Thanks,

Never used it but think it was called SVGnest.

Thank You!!

I’ve ust tried the SVGnest site, but I assume you have to scale your svg to fit their ‘bin’, as I can’t see how to enlarge it !

I almost never work from a full sheet of material so have not bothered to look at it. Remember the name from a year or so back.

I thought to include a 11x19.5 rectangle around my file, but the software still includes a small rectangle of its own, and there seems to be no way to get rid of it.
The program then includes that as an object, so it makes the whole process rather pointless !
IMHO.

Funny I almost always use full sheets

I think I am beginning to naturally choose projects that require about 1 full-size sheet of material.
