Once the printing starts. it engraves it exactly like the rendered file. inconsistent line weights and all
I build in Illustrator and export as a .svg file. Notice the left side of the starburst and the lapel thickness.
Question on the dots. Did you rasterize that layer? I just finished a project and when I would rasterize some layers, I would notice the pieces farther from the center would pull towards the center. It only showed once I uploaded it to the GF. Just wondering it if was just me seeing that.
negative on the rasterizing. It is a vector design. It is the only thing on the original file. saved as .svg. and uploaded straight to glowforge app. no layers. design is fill and the cut is stroke.
Are you using the glowforge recommended settings for saving as SVG from illustrator? Before I started doing that I got a lot of odd artifacts and line weight issues.
Thanks for letting us know about this. I’m sorry to hear your design isn’t uploading or printing as you expect.
Like other’s suggested, would you mind sharing your original file? If you’d prefer, you can also share it with me privately by emailing it to support@glowforge.com.
I sent my files to support. When I compiled the email, I opened up the newly saved svg file and it looks exactly like the messed up file. Something in my exporting has moved my vector lines around. Not sure what. The only difference I notice on @stpatty33 picture is the decimal places. mine was at 1. not 4. Ill try and export it again when I have some time and see what happens. the file was created completely in illustrator as a vector.
It’s been a little while since I’ve seen any replies on this thread so I’m going to close it. If you still need help with this please either start a new thread or email support@glowforge.com.
