Please let me know how you get on as we can refine this method of printing for other Inkscape users!
Cricut vinyl cutter machine drivers#
I haven't uninstalled all my printer drivers since I got this working last year and I'm half way through a plotting project so I don't want to risk messing everything up now, but I think it might be as simple as that. I recall the orientation being out by 90 degrees and the scale to be incorrect but both of those can be altered in the printer settings and Inkscape document properties as shown in the attachments. I think that all you need is the driver, I used the 64-bit version (W圆4)v400.zip I've managed to plot directly from Inkscape to my Cameo 4 with the drivers that Graphtec provide for a different model, the CE LITE-50 at the following link: I have seen some say that my machine do not work at all with Windows 10, but it does in Silhouette Studio at least.
I think that solution failed because I have a quite old Silhouette not working that well with newest versions of Windows. That is not directly from Inkscape, but close enough for my wishes. I had some hopes for the Robocut software . As far as I know it will not work with Cricut. It seems to me that people have used this extension to cut directly from Inkscape with Silhouette machines. The comments there says that upgrade to Inkscape v1.0 is coming. I've not tried Inkcut as it is not upgraded to Inkscape v1.0+.
Cricut vinyl cutter machine how to#
I looked into, but failed to figure out how to use that and it doesn't seem updated to Inkscape v1.0 I'm still working on Inkscape extensions to improve and make that process easier and more waterproof.

As Silhouette Studio has issues interpreting the DXF files I have been missing the option to cut directly from Inkscape again, but though I failed in getting that work I have learned a lot about how to prepare the DXF files so that Silhouette Studio read them correctly. I am exporting from Inkscape to DXF-files. "The Craft ROBO Controller is not installed" is the message I get when I press the Controller button and I have not succeeded in making it work.įor many years I have just used Silhouette Studio (the Basic free version not able to read SVG). The problem now is that when I select this printer and select Settings(?) (Norwegian setup - do not know exatly what it says in English - the button to the right just below where you select your printer) I will get to the cut-settings, but I have no driver(?) for the Controller.

I still have this printer selectable now on another computer with another Windows version and another Inkscape version. Then I selected Print and the printer called Graphtec Craft ROBO. I used to cut directly from Inkscape years ago with my good old Silhouette SD.
