I would recommend K40 Whisper in any case and hope to see some added functionality down the road. I had troubles with CorelDraw 12 part of CorelLASER on Win 10 and gave up on it. The software runs fine on the latest Windows 10 and my old XP Pro system. Most likely my Visio doesn’t follow the current standard (typical Microsoft).ĥ. svg file is missing something that a Inkscape.svg file adds. svg file is first imported or opened in Inkscape then re-saved. This mother board is designed with cutting-edge features to create new possibilities to your 40W laser engraving machine.

Another good K40 setting is to increase maximum speed. By using this GRBL controller, you can replace the nano controller and make Lightburn work with you, which is the most popular software used in the field of laser engraving. Why not try these out Try to cut or engrave a 100 x 100 mm square and measure it’s dimensions. These can be sent to Whisper if the Visio. Our experience with K40 laser is that 100157 are sweet spots for K40 laser x and y step distance.

I’ve used MS Visio 2003 for years for quick 2D engineering sketches. With the CorelLASER extension speeds over were wonky.Ģ The Halftone raster engraving is very good and for my purposes makes the change to whisper well worth it.ģ.Inkscape, once you get use to a few non-intuitive methods (trim), is good and must be loaded on the computer.Ĥ. Other than it’s easier and cleaner than CorelLASER, there are a few outstanding differences.ġ.The cutting speeds are more true with K40 Whisper. I’ve been using the Inkscape/K40 Whisper duo for a few weeks or so and it is a quantum leap from the delivered SW.
