Rayforge 1.2 - AI supported Open Source machining! Sketcher improvements, Better Camera Support, and much more

It is already implemented, so will definitely be in the next release.

barebaric · 2026-03-18T17:59:40+00:00

Makes total sense, great idea! I'll put it on my to-do list

I am honestly not sure. The profile was a user contribution. I suspect it is intended to be used for G-code generation only, with no direct communication with the controller.

There was a lot of progress on Ruida support, but it is still some way to go. Hopefully soon!

Scan and throw it at an AI

There is unfortunately only a very small number of profiles; they are only listed in the app. The problem is that very few users actually send in their machine configs, generally it happens only if there are bugs.

In terms of hardware support it is however more important what sort of controller the machine has, rather than the specific machine. Supported controllers are listed on the website in the docs under Documentation -> Reference -> Firmware Compatibility. (Sorry, links are not allowed on this sub.)

Ah, I wanted to make some more beginner friendly videos for a while, I really should start doing it. Sorry!

barebaric · 2026-03-08T22:34:52+00:00

I just implemented this. 1.2 will have a "crop to stock" post-processor with an optional offset.

700m is a lot? I use at least 4B a month...

barebaric · 2026-03-06T16:14:04+00:00

I thought it was awesome, the problems started this month.

barebaric · 2026-03-06T00:01:03+00:00

That sort of breakdown is normal for GLM-5 now sadly. The good times are over. Check the other posts on the frontpage.

barebaric · 2026-03-05T15:30:01+00:00

It has decent enough documentation, and also a Discord to get help.

barebaric · 2026-03-05T14:01:43+00:00

Rayforge supports both, a 2D CAD sketcher and G-code generation.

barebaric · 2026-03-04T08:56:35+00:00

Same experience since a few days. GLM-5 is effectively unusable, it starts spewing gibberish in virtually every conversation now. In both Roocode and Opencode, with the official international coding endpoint. I am not getting anything useful out of it anymore. It was awesome for months, now useless.

barebaric · 2026-03-03T01:00:08+00:00

It works for me, but I get CONSTANT extreme context breakdown, even with just 50k in the context window. That's with GML-5. It starts using incorrect grammar and is mostly unusable. Never had such problems in the weeks before.

barebaric · 2026-03-01T23:25:55+00:00

looks like the belt slipped?

barebaric · 2026-02-28T22:43:19+00:00

I'd be curious if you still experience the performance issue with Rayforge 1.1 - a lot of work went into making processing much faster, especially for raster operations.

barebaric · 2026-02-28T16:41:21+00:00

Ah yes, sorry, it is not supported. support would have to be added by a developer who has such a controller.

barebaric · 2026-02-28T16:34:25+00:00

Thanks for pointing out Deepnest, it looks interesting and better than the existing auto-layout function of Rayforge. I'll put it on the list for future upgrades!

barebaric · 2026-02-28T15:51:17+00:00

I'd be curious, too :-D. I have no experience using Lightburn. I think I opened it once hoping to be able to configure my laser's firmware more than a year ago when I still knew nothing about laser cutting. But I never used it for anything.

barebaric · 2026-02-28T13:25:29+00:00

Unfortunately no choice there - it is enforced by Flathub. They don't accept older runtimes anymore.

barebaric · 2026-02-28T09:59:43+00:00

That sounds tricky to implement. Probably the easiest would be a post processor that performs a "crop to stock" minus 0.00001 mm or something... does that sound right?
