Attempted to run a job using material settings I created with Glowforge Material Manager Chrome extension. Have used these material settings at least a dozen times. Used these settings the last time I used the Glowforge, last Friday.
Now I get the error message: ‘Unidentified Material in your Glowforge. Select a material or specify material height. If you’re using an uncertified material’
It’s not supported by Glowforge at all, if there are changes that need to be made to it as a result of a recent update, you’ll need to contact the developer to change it.
I’d wait though, Glowforge isn’t done making changes yet.
I keep a spreadsheet too, because I like to track my comments about what worked and why, where I got the settings in the first place, and so forth. But I did start using the materials manager for (my) extra-common things like throwing in a scrap of printer paper or Amazon box for prototyping! Fingers crossed that @icirellik gets a chance to look at it pretty soon. You can watch https://github.com/icirellik/glowforge-material-manager for updates.
Personally, I live in fear of the inevitable day when I will write a bit of software that other people find useful, because I will then be obligated to support it and update it forever, for free, according to how the rest of the world thinks it should work. I salute anyone with the magnanimity to publicly release a handy utility and take on the maintenance responsibilities it entails!
Dang it. Glowforge better be working on adding this in.
