Minimum line width (px) for image import to take into account?

Posted · Minimum line width (px) for image import to take into account?

Hi,

 

Due to fan breakdown I'm currently using my printer as pen plotter. I've already switched from gcodetools to Cura as my image to gcode converter, yet I'm having a huge issue - looks like Cura's jpg to stl converter doesn't detect lines thinner than 3px, what usually results in lack of contour or dot spam, both breaking the output print. Of course I can enlarge the lines at the image editing stage, but this makes all lines thicker, what blurs most of details.

 

Is there any way to decrease minimum requied line width (even if it means editing source code)?

 

Cura 2.7 on W10 (because 3.2 crashes when slicing output stl).

    Ok, already solved it by increasing slicing resolution and image DPI.

     

    IS THIS STILL WAITING FOR APPROVAL?!

    Really no one new is gonna use these forums if they have to wait a couple of days for they post to even appear...

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
