“The Gender Spectrum Collection is a stock photo library featuring images of trans and non-binary models that go beyond the clichés of putting on makeup and holding trans flags. This collection aims to help media outlets better represent members of these communities as people not necessarily defined by their gender identities—people with careers, relationships, talents, passions, and home lives.”

I felt that it was about time Baltimore Node had a Unicorn-plottable logo! You can learn more about this awesome hackerspace at baltimorenode.org.
I’ve attached all the files I used to create the G-Code for this thing, which tells the story of how you can make your own:
node_logo.svg - Start with the SVG logo available from the Node wiki.
node_logo.eps - Use Inkscape to export an EPS file, making sure to convert text to paths.
node_logo.dxf - Use pstoedit as described on Tony’s 2D-to-3D post - tonybuser.com/2d-to-3d - to create a DXF, with simple line approximations of curves. I also ended up using some scaling:
pstoedit -xscale 18 -yscale 18 -dt -f dxf:-polyaslines node_logo.eps node_logo.dxf
node_logo.gcode - Use scribbles.py from GitHub to convert the DXF into Unicorn G-Code. github.com/makerbot/Makerbot
I used Pleasant3D for its excellent G-Code preview capabilities to check that everything looked reasonable, find a good scaling, etc.
You may need to flip axes, etc.
I also don’t have any of the niceties like pen registration tests or multi-sheet printing in this G-Code. Feel free to add your own!
