I got my K40 in 2018 and was so discouraged by using it with LaserDRW that I kinda put it aside because LaserDRW is garbage. Then I watched your videos and discovered K40 Whisperer and it brought my cutter to LIFE!! I cannot believe the difference!! Like night and day. It’s so easy to cut now and I can have all the cuts and engraving files in one file and they’re sized already! Truly an amazing piece of software! Now I WANT to use my cutter. Thanks for the tips!!

FYI for people pulling their hair out about why some dxf files cut wierd (like cutting outside first instead of inside). Check the DXF in librecad as to whether it's doubled up, fusion 360 seems to have a habbit of doubling up the lines in the DXF which results in strange behaviour in K40 whisperer. Thanks heaps to you the OP for K40 whisperer you've enabled my laser cutter without requiring me to use dodgy software :D

Excellent program, thanks. I was wondering if K40 Whisperer knows, when vector cutting, to cut the inside cuts first? I had a project making a keychain and used a raster for the decoration then used the vector engrave button with the laser set for cutting to cut the opening for the ring before using the vector cut for the outside cut. Just asking since the item being cut and engraved could shift enough to ruin the project if the outer cut happened before the inner cut..

I have been playing with design files between Adobe AI, in SVG formats, and K40 Whisperer. So far, I have discovered that I have to save AI files in a legacy version of AI (version 8), remove all options that will add extra data to my design files, and create files in RGB format with a 36 PPI raster effect on my design files. I have managed to get my SVG files to work with K40 Whisperer using the correct RGB colors for my cuts, Raster engravings, but when it comes to Vector Engravings I can't quite figure out how one would use a Vector Engrave. When designing a simple object, say a square box for Vector engrave, I notice that a Fill will not work for a vector engrave. However, a stroke will work for a Vector Engrave on K40 Whisperer, and it is limited to approximately 1 Point Width, or so. Even if I were to increase a Stroke width to something like 5 Points, K40 Whisperer still does not recognize the width of the stroke and continues to interpret the Vector Engrave stroke as being 1 Point in size. As a work around to this, I simply stopped using the Vector engrave feature and keep all my lines to be interpreted by K40 Whisperer as Raster Engrave strokes. By doing so, I can control the line stroke's width pretty accurately. My question for all is, In what particular scenario would I want to use the Vector Engrave feature? Has anyone else experienced the above situation with Vector Engravings before? And, if so, how did you remedy the situation? I did discover that if I use the gradient effects on Illustrator, keep and treat the Fills as RGB colors and use Black and White, that K40 Whisperer will give one a beautiful gradient effect. I'll have to Laser Engrave the test files to see the effects created using the Radial and Linear gradients. Thanks everyone!

Styling options: Internal style sheet (default), Presentation attributes or external css ? Fountain Steps ? ( Mine defaults to 50 ) and export bitmap type ? Gif Jpg (default ) or Png and link or embed (default) ? I also noticed that I get some errors in Corel when saving SVG saying Invalid IDs Found. One or more IDs used in the file are either duplicates or contain invalid syntax. . Tells me to check all group, obj and symbol instance names to ensure that they are not duplicated within the file, and do not start with a number. Dups and invalid IDs will be automatically be appended on export. I couldn't find a answer on the net to it. So not sure what issues that will cause.. Or would it be better to save as a EPS and import into Inkscape and save as a SVG. Thanks .

@ScorchWorks6 жыл бұрын
For closed shapes (i.e. a circle or any shape that has no open ends.) K40 Whisperer can determine which object are inside of each shape and cut those first. If shapes overlap or share common edges it is not posible to be 100% accurate. It determines which objects are inside using geometry and math. This functionality can be turned off by unselecting "Cut Inside First" in the advanced options. If you do this K40 Whisperer will cut in the order the objects are defined in the SVG file.
