What's on the drawing board? 🎨🖌️

In Illustrator if you select all, then merge from the pathfinder, it will flatten all the shapes. You need to expand text or stroke layers first though.
Holy hell that would be a billion times easier than what I have to do in Inkscape duplicating one shape and then subtracting it from the other. I did some searching to see if there was an equivalent to pathfinder's merge and it doesn't look like it. The boolean operations are as good as it gets and combine doesn't work the same way.

This is what's holding me back from using tayda for UV printing. It would take me 3 forevers to edit all the overlapping shapes in inkscape
 
I keep getting asked to make RotoBone clones, so I decided to develop a PCB with my own tweaks and artwork to simplify the process. May as well have some fun, right? Controls are as follows:

Squawk (Volume)
Honk (Bias)
Rage (Gain)
Fluff Around (Output Cap)
Find Out (Input Cap)
Escalate toggle (High / Low Gain)

(internal DIP for switching Q2 between Germanium/Silicon)

It takes me about 30min to an hour to edit all of the overlapping shapes in Inkscape on something particularly complicated. I can’t think of the process off the top of my head to explain, but I figured out some tricks to make it go faster. I’ll try to put together a little explanation

Thanks. I'm sure I'll find it useful. I'm gonna bite the bullet and learn illustrator at some point too, but time is short
 
@UtilityBeltFX Question. When I zoom in I can see that this is vectorized. Did you do this with Illustrator? If so does Illustrator take care of making sure you don't have overlapping shapes? When I vectorize with Inkscape and I don't do it "stacked" it looks like crap with tons of gaps, but doing it stacked means that there are overlapping shapes everywhere and Tayda says not to do that. Cleaning all that stuff up manually is a huge pain in the ass if you did that here, my hat is off to you.

Ironically Tayda had no problem with this T1000 pedal whatsoever, but I've been having a nightmare of a time with another one I posted here (Big Sky). They keep giving me a "Some RDG_White is missing" error that's vague as hell and won't let me print as is. I just submitted a Version 3 with practically no White visable, requiring little to no cutting out of layers above... We'll see how this new one goes.
 
I'm also reworking the art on my Ukrainian Army BMP (Sovtek / Red Army BMP - with updated name for new realities...)

Thanks to my friend Dmytro for the translations... :D
Good job!

I figured out most of the title, except for the 2nd word, which translates in Russian as "bad guys" 🤔, but translated in Ukrainian means "of the armed forces" 🙂.

Associate of mine has a Canadian-Ukrainian wife, and her relatives (two families) came over when the war broke out, staying with my friend — I worked with the men a couple of times, solid blokes. They wanted to stay in Canada, but their wives wanted to go back so they've gone back. I hope they're okay, should receive word soon either way...
