I'm not sure I understand. The article on Instructables.com is a well known public, Maker site. You don't even have to register with Instructables.com to read the article.
The DLL is not on a "download site." There are no fees that I'm aware of for anyone to download it. I did not make this available to gain a profit from it.
My misunderstanding, I saw the article, very nice and there is a big download link right above it so I thought you provided the fixed lasercad there as many of the users won't want to apply the hack, but after reading the article I see you provide the dll on your server. It was late
to download the article in pdf form costs money and you have to join... These sites are full of these types of deception so I should know better to look harder...
My appologies.
I will try this tonight if I have time and upload the LaserCADFix.exe here and yes, hopefully the new version for LightObject due out soon will have this fix along with the other fixes Marco listed.
Cheers!
Yes, Instructables.com will charge you to download the PDF, but I've never needed one. The only PDFs I've ever downloaded from them have been my own projects, just for record keeping -- and when you publish an article and have it featured they give you a free "Pro" account for a few months, so I've never paid. The PDF is actually more limited than the HTML site because with the HTML you can open the images and see the labels applied to them, which makes it easier to follow someone's design. Still, for this, you will not need a copy of the article, just the DLL and the instructions, and the instruction are in the video which is on YouTube. FWIW, my only request is that if it helpful you vote for the article -- or not even this one, but one my other 2 (soon to be 3)
recent articles on there, in the contests they are entered into. Winning those contests makes it worth the time put into documenting the project. FWIW, they may be of interest to anyone here. One shows how to build a Water Chiller for a CO2 laser, and the other shows how to build a flow rate monitor and alarm for water going to the laser tube.
I have not seen the list of fixes that are due out soon, but I look forward to it along with any new features.
Best Wishes!
