This release contains amongst a lot of other bugfixes the resolution of two relevant issues, that might have affected your ability to successful burn a project in the past:

  • In a noisy environment (eg external electrical signals that cause disturbance on the usb cables) meerk40t may have lost packages essentially losing registration (awareness of the current laser position). The recovery from such a sitation has greatly improved, effectively containing such situations.
  • Borderline valid/Invalid svg paths might have not been burned if laserpath optimisation was active

So we would be grateful for some feedback if (and under what circumstances) you are still encountering registration losses during your burns on a K40.

In addition there were some exciting new features introduced:

  • Placements: these are effectively job start indicators. So you can design your project freely and define a couple of placements on the laserbed. Te design will then be burned at every job start position (ie placement). So no need to duplicate your design a couple of times. Maintain one master and let it burn multiple times. Together with wordlists this allows a very powerful template feature.
  • Inkscape integration: although this has been in place for some time, you can activate an option in the settings that will precheck the design you are loading for not fully supported features. mk will then ask you if you want to convert the design with the help of an existing inkscape installation into a compatible version (this is efectively what k40whisperer does by default without any user query).
