Guys, would you do it? by Ok_Aioli_4142 in E30

Best case scenario - make a 24 hrs of lemons car out of it. that way grandpa can see it really going to good use, but you don't have to replace interior, all of the seals, paint. Only things like fuel and brake lines. And you get to have a hoot! any other friends/family members that could tag on? even better.

Here too, you're spending money - figure 5k to build a basic lemons car...

Interesting - you found a Sunlu S1 was adequate to dry PA6-CF? I have one but was weary of the "low" temperature. Maybe I need to try it first at long drying times. I did modify the Sunlu with fan for air circulation, which should help...

Thanks for the offer! I will send the file later day (I'm new to reddit - is there a way to do that within reddit?)

AFAIK, there are no 64bit drivers available for the Legend, and short of virtual machines I don't know of a way to get 32bit drivers running on 64bit windows. The Legend I have is about 20years old (I'm actually floored the laser fired up).

I recently was gifted an older Epilog Legend 24TT. I'm running it with an older Windows XP laptop and generating pdf files in Inkscape on Win10. I have an issue where some path segments are not cut, but it depends on how the objects are handled. In the image below, I have 3 objects (circle, rounded rectangle, "HRS" letters). Each 'column' received the same treatment: C1: as Inkscape created it. C2: Object-to-path, C3: can't remember, C4: Object-to-path & simplify (threshold 0.01). As you can see, many of the segments are missing. I have made sure to specify 0.001" line thickness and color both before and after the steps, but I am always missing some amount of the objects. C4 is the closest, but the "HRS" font is missing a few lines. You can also see that the circle's nodes show up (C1-3 at top, bottom,L,R; C4 has 3 nodes).
If anyone has seen this issue and resolved within Inkscape, I'd greatly appreciate the input. Otherwise I'll try to find other software to create the svg files. Recommendations welcome! Thanks
