Mrbrixx, can I take this back into Inkscape and add a name to it? I’m very new to this so I’m not to sure if an svg for can be opened by inkscape? Thanks
You can open the SVG in inkscape.

Mccand is correct that you can open svg in Inkscape, but adding text in that program can be a little difficult if you are new to image software.
You can also open the svg using Easel and you can add text very easily in that program. I would recommend this for beginners.
If you want the text to be aligned to a shape (not straight) you will need another CAM software (Estlcam) to do that.

Thanks for the reply. Are any of these open source of free?
Easel is free, but is online only.
Etslcam also can be used for free I believe and is a stand alone program. I am just starting to play with that one.
Makercam is free also a d can be made to work offline. I have used that a lot, but it has a few limitations. The most important thing to remember on Makercam is to first set the resolution to 96 so that scale does not get mixed up. This is especially if your svg file comes out of Inkscape.

Thanks for the info. Just cut my final sled and found that my circle is off. 18 on the width and 17 3/4 on height. I have run the calibration a couple of times. Just can’t figure it out.
I had similar problems. I found that the centering of my sled to the ring was off a bit and caused my issues. Have you looked at the index yet? It links directly to very good discussion on how to do a number of things. This subject is discussed I believe.

Oh and forgot to say earlier…Welcome to the Maslow community of users and congratulations for getting this far.
I am more than happy to support my fellow Maslovian.
The forum members are so friendly and helpful. I love my Maslow now that I got it “dialed in” and working well.
To be honest, I wanted to “curse” a few times getting everything to work smoothly from design concept to cut out and built, but still enjoy(ed) the discovery.
I look forward to see where we the community move the Maslow concept.
