  • SVGToolpathReader

    Cura plug-in to read SVG files as toolpaths, for debugging printer movements.

  • I've been trying to get this to work for a couple years now but haven't had any luck. There's a Cura plugin called SVG Toolpath Reader that I have seen applied to models that will print the first layer following the lines of the SVG image - IOW if you apply an SVG "weave" in the pattern of carbon fiber, the pinter will follow the SVG pattern as a toolpath and print the first layer in the crosshatch pattern of the weave. Looks neat! Also, you can do this for other patterns or even lettering. However, I'm stumped. The directions are pretty much "Drop the image in Cura." Ok, great...how do I apply it to a model? I'm using Sketchup, but have some familiarity with Blender and can use Meshlab, -mixer, -room. Any help would be appreciated.
