The pancake printer must run in the ".gcode "image format, which version of inkscape will automatically generate Gcode files

The link below is the software download and Gcode plugin for Pancake printer. How do I put it in the inkscape extension，Because I want to operate on inkscape

I hope someone can help me. I don't understand very well. I hope you can explain the whole process in detail ，Thank you so much

@amy123, I checked the link you provided and do not see any reference for an Inkscape extension directly assigned to the product. Can you provide a specific page referencing the Inkscape extension? Also helpful would be to know which version of Inkscape you are using.

If you are installing a generic extension, there are many videos and web sites providing instructions for installing extensions.

The summary is:

Use the preferences window to locate the file location for extensions.
Download the desired extension and unzip if necessary
Copy the (usually two) files into the above noted folder
Restart Inkscape if open during the above process
The remaining challenge is to then locate the extension in the Extensions menu; seek that information from the download source if possible.

Good luck

Thank you very much for your answer. I only have the download information about pancake printer. I only know that it is also open source, and there is all its development information in this link. Can I find information about the extension in this?

Forgive me for being stupid. I don't know anything about this. Can you help me find it? I can use any version of inkscape as long as I can add a successful extension.

“Use the preferences window to locate the file location for extensions.” 

What should I do in this step？

I did not see any indication on the linked site that there is an extension specific to the pancake printer. What reference do you have that such an extension exists?

I guess, I thought all the download information was there, I was wrong, how can I find those extensions now? Only to find a developer? Or is there some way to find it?

I performed an internet search for pancake printer inkscape extension but came up empty. Too many non-useful answers were displayed, as they had nothing to do with inkscape or nothing to do with the pancake maker. I limited the search using "pancake" "inkscape extension" and also came up empty, in that zero results were presented.

In order to assist you, a valid source as a reference will be required.

On a possibly related note, you may only be searching for a g-code extension for Inkscape. Search "g-code extension inkscape" to find the right extension for your version of inkscape. In an earlier answer, I asked you to tell me if you are using v0.9x or >v1.x to make it easier for me to show you results.

Additionally, if you find Inkscape to be cumbersome, consider to check out LightBurn GRBL version. It has a 30 day free trial and is only US$60 for a full license. You'd have to confirm that GRBL is the language used on your printer. I found an Instructable that showed how to build one from parts, but it used a Windows 10 IoT interface which might not be GRBL compatible. If you have that machine, LightBurn won't do the job. That would be unfortunate, as LightBurn is many magnitudes of order easier to use for editing and in the case of lasers, burning and engraving. The output for pancakes would be similar, although you'd have to have a much larger "laser kerf" to compensate for the liquid batter.
