Font for inside and outside CNCing
Need to figure out how to get a font (or other shape) to CNC properly inside and out to fit into itself, i.e. method to know that shape has no radius smaller than the bit.
Workflow
- make line text (find better text maker?)
- Extensions, render, hershey text
- tweak shapes
- stroke style
- line thickness = bit * 2.1 (2 to be exact, add .1 to have some space)
- use rounded joins and caps
- scale/tweak so there are gaps where need to be
- stroke to path
- fill none, stroke yes
- new path strokestyle, round join and cap, width of bit
- fix distances of letters
- redo stroke to path
- break apart, delete, recombine as necessary
- fix/tweak
