  Please copy the files located in the folder called plugin in the zip file to the following location of Inkscape\share\extensions\ folder. Maker sure you are not running Inkscape or you will not see it in the extension menu. Also note that certain files will be replaced in inkscape. So make backup copy of files that you do not want replaced. I hope this helps.

  @DWiskow - I just downloaded and installed the SourceRabbit GCode sender, at it looked like it was going to work great, but the "Connect your CNC" Port: selector doesn't show my Eleksdraw's /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 serial port, so I couldn't use it. I tried a number of times, but it never showed up. I guess it's back to minicom for me. Too bad, because this looked pretty good.

  Sorry for bumping this up but I wanted to thank the community for this fix.

  And in addition to the 3 steps above, please note that there are 2 other instances where one must edit out the 3.5433070550.

  @Grant-B Yes absolutely, I replaced the board in mine with an older Eleks L1 (as it was spare). I removed the sockets from the old board to make the connection to the ribbon cable easier but I've seen others solder directly to it. You can also get a drop in replacement board that will work but it's ~$100. Anything that runs Grbl or compatible firmware will work directly with T2Laser.

  Hi David,
  YES your assistance would be most welcomed re T2L.
  I must admit to having read some excellent reviews of this product, & if it is as good as it sounds, the it will be worth the money for sure.

  I understand that T2L has some design features, but my main need is to simply import DXF files into it & ONLY cut... not interested in etching at all, as the laser is simply a work tool i built, not a toy & it urgently needs to get busy lol.

  Please get in touch when you have got back from your holiday, it would be great to learn as much as possible - much appreciated Sir.

  @Danie T2Laser supports engrave and cut, including multi-pass and grain compensation. You can also use the colors to set power, feed rates or sequence.

  I solved the problem for now.
  You can see the result in the "Christmas theme laser engraving works awards collect 12.7 - 12.24".
  I converted the jpg with Corel Photopaint to b/w-bitmap.
  The conversion of the details was much better than with the path conversion from Inkscape.
  I cutted the picture with the mask function in three pieces with the same hight and a small overlap.
  There were no problems to open the bitmaps with EleksCam.
  I had to choose the outline mode and set the same hight for all three pieces an the job was done
  without further problems. the fit of the pieces was perfect.
  Nonetheless it would be interesting to know what exactly happens in Inkscape when you cut out a
  piece of a picture, save it as a new picture and there is still the whole original picture like a "invisible ghost"
  in the background.
