laserengraverInkscapeplugin

A laser engraver GCODE generator for Marlin firmware (RepRap) to control a laser or mill. Generated GCODE Out of inkscape files.

The idea is based on this article: http://www.instructables.com/id/Pocket-laser-engraver/ Installation is also mentioned there! I only make it work with Marlin.

I added some functions to work with a normal MARLIN firmare (the M3 and M5 commands must be added in Firmare like I did in https://github.com/ringo2k/Marlin/commit/eeccc0bf93881d14582e844aa4cd383413825a75

It gives you the chance to add a laser on your 3D printer to make cool stuff :D I added some features so it is easier to use with a 3D printer.

• When you installed your laser on your printer it sure has another x=0 and y=0 so i added the possibilitie to make a offset on x and y!
• The laser doesn't need to be focused when the nozzle is on Z=0. The focus on the bed of the laser can be once determined and then written in the Z Offset. Also when you like to engrave larger objects, which have a own heigt, add this height to the parameter to make the laser spot on the top of the object focus again.
• Printer waits to place laser thing on the bed, must resumed in GUI

I am new in python so there are sure some mad hacks i did, sorry for that :-)
