Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Regarding laser cutting: Some fablabs have been using Inkscape and just print the vector graphics to the laser cutter. Have you tried this?

    Hmm not sure whether my cutter directly accepts SVG, I have to check ... in fact I'm using Inkscape to assemble everything and then just use the application to generate gcode ... not sure whether I can skip that step because the SVG doesn't contain any info regarding cutting speed, laser power etc ...
