I’m having trouble with gaps appearing in my engravings when I use script fonts where the letters touch each other. It seems like the engraving skips over the areas where the letters connect, leaving unengraved gaps. I’ve attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
I’m using Snapmaker Luban, and I’ve tried different fonts, but the problem persists. Is there a way to fix this issue? Should I be using different settings, or perhaps a different software altogether? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Use illustrator to merge the font outlines. The gaps are caused by Luban XOR’ing (intersecting) the fonts. This has been discussed before in other threads.
We have 6 Snapmaker 2.0 machines that we use for engraving names on our products. We need a solution that is as fast as possible because we currently have to create a new file for each name. We process between 50 and 100 names per day.
If you switch to Lightburn, you can setup one project, export with the save gcode option, then swap back over to the text tool, and it lets you edit the text without having to move and all, then just export again for each name.
If it’s a lot of the same item, using some of my automated guides would be a good fit. Especially with the drag/drop scripts.
