Rayforge- Laser cutting and engraving

Software / Firmware General
1

I am trying to find options for laser engraving using Linux and I just discovered this. I am going to run a few tests over the next few weeks.

I see it can connect directly to the machine on top of creating gcode.

Has anyone experience with it?

First impressions are quite good. I can connect over wifi to the LR4, jog, and do my engraving job. I already found a bug related to SVG import that I reported on github and are already investigating.

I will aslo test for cutting and will probably replace my workflow with the inkscape plugin.

Update on this tool:

  1. I have submitted a few bug reports and also enhancements requests an the dev is super responsive and very happy to receive feedback. Bugs were fixed super quickly and also te feature I requested was implemented in just a few days.
  2. I most probably do not use the tool at its full potential, but for my needs is a great tool and I have decided to fully transition the laser cutting/engraving needs to it.
