Hi,
I faced the problem, that sometimes letters have some little problems with path ending - is it a problem with overcut? Overcut should follow the other path - here it looks like, that it follows the last known direction? Or is it an other problem?
examples see attachments...
Thanks,
Andi
Thanks for the pictures. I'll see if I have time to look into this sometime this week. This only occurs with overcut enabled correct? Also what setting are you using?
Hi, if I do not enable overcut I can not get the inner parts out without cutting a littlebit manually...
I looked at this a little last night. The overcut appears to be working as intented but I think the issue is with the combination of blade offset and overcut. If the blade offset is disabled does this still occur?
I have to try at my next plots, but I need overcut to get sharp edges...
What's the cut off angle in overcut settings?
If the angle between two consecutive segments is less than the cutoff angle then no offset compensation is used for that corner
The algorithm really needs to be reworked
Yes, there are problems at cutting e.g. letters. The letters are not cut until end - little bit of the path is not cut...
After looking at this some more I think it's either the start or end point (my guess is the end point).
We're working on a proper blade offset algorithm, unfortunately the math is not as easy as I'd hoped it'd be so it may take some time.
@anm, Can you try the new offset algorithm? github.com/inkcut/inkcut/pull/170
Try without overcut for now.
I give it a try after my holidays!
How do I install pull from git? Does not work :(
The easiest way is to select the branch from the dropdown on github, then click the clone or download button, and copy the link that says "Download zip" and use that url
So for this it is:
pip3 install https://github.com/inkcut/inkcut/archive/new-blade-offset.zip
I just merged this in. It's better than the old algo whether it solves everything or not.
I try at my next plot. :)
In my oppinion it is much better than before. Does the overcut-value has any effect at the moment?
I haven't tried it. It should still be adding overcut but due to the order of how they work it won't add blade offset compensation to the overcut.
Hi! I have the same issue! Did you find a solution for the problem?
