The "Preset hatch for fills" extension applies a number of Eggbot-friendly settings to all Inkscape "Hatches (rough)" path effects in your current drawing. What does that mean? In short, when you're trying to create filled regions, a good techniques is to use Inkscape's Path Effect Editor tool to add an effect called "Hatches (rough)". To then make those hatches more effective for area fills in Eggbot plots, a number of settings associated with the effect should be changed. This extension automatically makes those changes for you. This process is extensively documented in Part 3 of the Drawing a smiley face tutorial. Please refer to that tutorial for step-by-step instructions on using this extension as well as this hatch feature of Inkscape.
