10/31/2023 0 Comments Inkscape vs illustrator for cad![]() Because laser cutters are usually kept at workshops, people tend to use any old PC they can find to serve as a workstation for laser cutters. Currently, Adobe Illustrator license costs 21$/month which can be a lot for people who don’t use Illustrator as a primary money-making tool, but rather as a “support tool” for their laser cutter.Īnother downside to Illustrator that can affect laser owners is hardware requirements. Adobe discontinued CS (creative suite) and switched to a subscription-based model (Creative Cloud), so now you can only “rent” software. And with advanced features comes an advanced price. Some steps in the designing process might be faster compared to Inkscape but only if you are proficient with Illustrator. Compared to Inkscape, Illustrator comes with several advanced features but few of them actually relevant for laser cutting. ![]() Over the years Illustrator has become widely recognized as an industry standard for designing vector graphics. svg format so you can open and modify them directly in Inkscape.

That is up to you to decide. It may lack some of the advanced features (which you rarely need) that paid software provides which will allow you to cut corners and save some time in the design process. Inkscape is quite a powerful vector editing tool with more features than you are ever going to use, and will handle everything you throw at it when designing for laser cutting. But don’t let the price (or lack of it) fool you. For people just getting into laser cutting, there are already lots of expenses (buying equipment, adapting workshops, etc.) so it’s no wonder that free, cross-platform, and open-source software is quite popular in the community. Graphic design software tools are used primarily by professionals, and as such can get pretty expensive. One of the most popular choices in the laser cutting community (especially among beginners) is Inkscape and it’s easy to understand why. So, without further ado, here are the most popular software used to create designs for laser cutters (in no particular order): Inkscape Note that this list is “Best design software for laser cutting” which means we will only cover designing tools that are commonly used by laser cutting community.

First of all, drawing something on a computer and then making a physical object out of that is a lot of fun. If you are thinking of getting into laser cutting it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with some vector design software.

10/31/2023 0 Comments Enemies to lovers trope examples![]() Imagine if Ana was the billionairess alpha dom in Fifty Shades of Grey, and Christian the poor virginal sub. Tropes work best when you don’t notice them, or can subvert them in some way. What is most important in your story are your characters, the relationship between them, and the ‘journey’ they go on. Tropes should serve your story, not the other way around. I saw a scene I had imagined between Sam and Jamie in a whole new way, and as such have changed it. Just as I was in the planning stages of Musical Games, I read a fantastic blog entitled ‘ Ten romance tropes that need to die already’. However as we move (hopefully) forward, I still find myself accidentally handling a trope in a way that offends even my own sensibilities. In today’s society it’s okay to write a female heroine who initiates sex without her being viewed as some kind of unstable jezebel. Triggered? Moi? Mais oui.Īs sexual politics and society changes, so do tropes. This may float many people’s boats, but it makes my blood run cold when I accidentally read a well-reviewed book that has a female ‘liking’ pain and humiliation at the hands of some jealous misogynist who controls every aspect of her life. After Fifty Shades of Grey exploded into the houses of pretty much everyone on the planet, the market boomed with the Billionaire alpha male dom/virgin female sub-trope. Other issues surround the tropes themselves. Rest assured, nookie was brought forward considerably in subsequent drafts. At the time of writing, I was nervous about writing my first sex scene and felt that I had to fall in love with Rory before he could have sex with Zoe/me… My alpha reader was literally screaming at me down the phone to make things happen between them. When I was writing Highland Games, the first sex scene didn’t happen until ninety percent through. If you have the trope of continual ‘will they, won’t they’ sexual tension between your characters, then the longer it is eked out, the more annoyed your reader is likely to be. They have to have more to their relationship than the one point connection of a trope. So, if we have the ‘friends to lovers’ trope with no explanation as to why they are friends and what makes their relationship a success, then simply calling them ‘friends’ then having them get drunk and make out isn’t going to cut it. The first issue with tropes is when they are used with a heavy hand. ![]() Wedding fever – runaway brides/jilted/best men/wedding planners. ![]()

You’re Using An Improper Device To Stream ![]() If this is not ensured, Plex may exhibit buffering and stuttering when showing videos. Therefore, you must ensure that the number of concurrent streams is kept to a minimum if more than one user is using the Plex media server to stream content. Like with any server, if too many devices access the material from your Plex media server, congestion and slowness will constantly cause your streams to delay. It’s also possible that there’s a technical issue with your device causing Plex to buffer. So this is something to consider if you find that Plex keeps buffering when you try to watch videos on it. This means you will experience Plex buffering if the CPU is not strong enough to transcode videos like HD 1080P and 4K. The CPU of the NAS or machine running Plex Media Server determines the transcoding speed. Plex Media Server will then convert the incompatible videos into a format that can be viewed on the client’s device. When the client device does not support the resolution, format, bit rate, etc., of the incoming videos, Plex transcoding typically takes place.
