Lasercut Jigsaw

An extension for Inkscape that creates jigsaw shaped pieces. Options for back, and single-cut pieces. Creates a jigsaw puzzle for laser cutting.

- set dimensions in various units,
- number of pieces in X,Y,
- randomness and size of tabs,
- rounded corners, and a backing as an option.
- packed neatly for minimal cutting.

Uses minimal lines to optimize for laser cutting (e.g. when using packed backboard).

[Edited to work in Inkscape 1.0+]

i dowloaded, copied. Opened the Inkscape, selected the plugin, clicked apply and do nothing...

eper2110 wrote :

Well, if I copy the inkscape/shared/extension/ folder it's work.
But in user's extensions folder like: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions

It isn't.

Was looking for a jigsaw puzzle for Autism Awareness. Thank you

Just had a chance to use your creation. I must say, this is nothing short of Genius. Simple to use, works perfectly and can be made easy for the young ones or difficult for adults, amazing. I thank you for using your skill to make a program that is fun and will amaze all users when a picture or photo appears from the puzzle. I know my grand kids will love it when a surprise picture is shown one piece at a time. Again, THANK YOU. Joe

Hi All. I have downloaded, unzipped and copied the files as directed in the appropriate files but cannot see the addon after opening the program, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have both mac and pc and cannot get it to work in either!
Thanks. Mark

@theheihjman Its working in 0.92.4. Look for it under a folder like this one:
C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions where <YOURNAME> is your windows user logon name.
You can type %APPDATA% into the address bar of a file browser window to get into the Roaming folder - then navigate into inkscape/extensions.

In that extensions folder you should have the .py and .inx files

Then when you open Inkscape you should see the extension here:
Extensions/Render/Lasercut Jigsaw

Very nice. I particularly like the live preview. Is it possible to provide options for more angular notches? Ideally I'd like to have mostly straight lines if possible.

Thanks!

Neon22 wrote :

@micah_gideon That'd be an unusual style. Sounds interesting.
I'd suggest just selecting the line of nodes (by using the Edit paths tool) and changing all the curves to straight lines using the "make selected nodes corner" tool. First one in the set of 4 icons.
Its a very quick op to do on all the edges at the same time.

Hello,
Thank you for providing this extension for Inkscape users!

This is just to let you know that most 3rd party Inkscape extensions, like this one, probably will not work with the upcoming new Inkscape version, the long-awaited version 1.0.

Here is the info you need to update this extension, so that it will work with 1.0 and future versions.
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Updating_your_Extension_for_1.0

If you have further questions, you can contact Inkscape developers via mailing lists (https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/?all-lists), forum (https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/), or the chatroom (https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel)

If you have already updated it, please disregard this message.

All best,
brynn

I really appreciate when someone takes the time and freely gives their creation to the community. I have downloaded it, but have not used it yet. I am new to Inkscape, so it may take me a little while to get to use it. Thank you again for your work and generosity.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

how can I solve it?
Thanks

Really love this extension! Thanks. But after upgrading to 1.0 it no longer works, sadly. I get
"File "Lasercut-jigsaw.py", line 43
def randomize((x, y), radius, norm=True, absolute=False):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

Can't seem to figure out whats wrong here..

Using Inkscape 0.92.4.
Downloaded the files.
Copied to the directory.
Extension appears under Extensions, Render, Lasercut Jigsaw... Nothing happens when I click on it. Other extensions are working fine.

Neon22 wrote :

That is correct. There were big changes to get to inkscape 1.0. Old extensions no longer work. (same for 0.48 to 0.91 update several years ago)

There is no internal api allowing me to find out which version of inkscape is running so we have all moved to 1.0.

Older versions of inkscape will need to be upgraded. Its better so probably a good idea.

Thanks I'll go read up on upgrading!

Thank you for making this and keeping it updated!!

I make puzzles with small pieces (0.6" to 1" average side length) and I keep wishing I could tweak the "notch relative size" to 0.45... 0.4 is a little small and 0.5 is just a little big.

My dream though is circular puzzles. My business has a budget for this! I'm not sure how to contact you directly, but I'm at inaflashlaser.com

Great Extension, thank you so much!

Neon22 wrote :

In 1.3 this is reporting as limited to 1.2
But its works in 1.3 - so look for it under Extensions/Render menu.
If you don;t already have it - upload the inx and py files (in the zip) to your
%appdata%\inkscape\extensions folder.

Working on how to get it labelled as ok for 1.3

thorongil wrote :

Thanks for the awesome extension!! Grateful. Is there any way to make the inner edges straight instead of curved?

Neon22 wrote :

@thorongil Easiest way is to simply select those points in inkscape and hit the curve node icon that turns them into straight segments. Its a feature I have not added.
