Needing help/info about using Shaper Hub .svg files

Maker Talk

For those who have used Shaper Hub - are the .svg files you can get there only intended to be used with the Shaper Origin? I was hoping to make one of the projects on the normal cnc, but when it downloads, it’s extremely tiny, and i don’t have a good sense of how to make it the size it should be

Any help or pointers appreciated!

Most likely it is in another scale. Could you email the file so I can take a look

Emailed - thanks Joe

I have used Shaper Hub files directly on Dorian / Tarkin without any scaling issues. It could be that the CNC software is scaling things. Lightburn seems to reproduce files to exact scale so you might try that.

I downloaded the files and opened in Adobe Illustrator. It opened in mms. I changed to imperial and it seemed to be the correct scale

The files on Shaper Tools’ Hub are normal SVG files that can be used for any purpose.
All that makes them special is the color coding which have meaning on the Origin.
I’ve used files from the Hub for other CNC and Laser projects with no problem.
