  I am having the same issue, anyone could help please? The laser does carve well when using the "TextCarve" or "PicCarve" in EleksCam, so I know it is working.

  I've come up with this so far: https://gist.github.com/JosephJNK/694e4465eac974bceadef48ef97d2d39
  I just used 2to3 to convert the script to python3, removed the #! line, and fixed a couple of issues with operator overloading. It successfully produces gcode for me now, but the gcode isn't working on my device. @megrimm, can you see if this works for you?

  @WAFI This isn't an EleksMaker product, you need to contact Axidraw for support.

  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.
