I wrote a little bit of mostly-working inkscape extension to send
engraving data to the modela engraver. The working area might be a
little small for making a side-lit acrylic sign, but you could probably
fit a 4x6" piece on there.
I can't remember if I posted my code to the mailing list, or on my
website somewhere (it's in my personal svn, I know), but I'd like to
work to get it more polished and easy to use. I think last time I got
stuck on how to attach the work piece to the modela table.
I'm driving back to PGH on Monday (tomorrow, Jan 3), and will be back in
the shop as much as often as I can. I also got a kitten.
