I found that the plugins for inkscape and illustrator would crash when I tried to convert SVG's with many thousands of lines to gcode.

So I modified this to generate gcode for GRBL based pen plotter

Usage as cli:

python convert.py source.svg destination.gcode

There are various settings you can change in config.py. Most notably, you must set an upper and lower position for the z axis.

zTravel is the height it will move to before traveling to the next stroke

zDraw should be the height at which the pen will make contact with the paper
