I have updated my Laser Slicer script for Blender 2.8. For those unaware of it, it slices a Blender object up and then exports those slices to SVG file(s). I use it to then cut the 3D form on a laser cutter (hence the name).
A very recent build of Blender 2.8 is recommended.
Code has moved to github and the install-able zip can be got from the master branch:
lovely add-on. one question: it gives me a group of separate lines (a circle that is separate lines) I know it’s a none blender question but how can you join and smooth them in inkscape?
You’re specific error is because you have selected a directory and not a file for export.
I have updated the git repository to get round this and made some other updates for 2.83. Test and post here if problems.

Just one issue, I’m trying to import the slices in the exact same location into LightBurn, I need to cut multiple layers at the exact same location.
When I import, the outlines of a smaller piece center out instead of keeping their relative position.
Is it possible to choose the height of cutting lines? Now there is the option for thickness, but I would like to shift the cuts in the z axis.
Is is possible to label the individual slices to help in reassembly after laser cutting?
Thanks for developing this. I look forward to seeing what is possible.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried, but unlike some other plugins I could not get this working.
Admittedly I am a total newbie, and might have overlooked something, in which case apologies.
I was delighted when I found the plugin, so it would be great if it did work with 2.9.
Thanks for the work. Inspired by the addon, I extended it to 2 interlocked slices for plywood/cardboard model with interlocking slots. Hope that this is useful.
