Hello, I am trying to create a ramp, that is a nicely curved segment of a 6cm path. Yet the g-code generator provides me with a piece that is bordered with a succession of straight lines which makes the result quite unsightly. Is there any way to smoothen the borders of my piece into a nice arc ? A g-code file of the piece is appended. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Greetings from Switzerland, Anselm
Checkout docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation] - more advanced CAMs output Arcs, the free and entry level OpenBuildsCAM does not, for simplicity.
Hi Peter, too bad. Any software that you would recommend ? I don't need multilevel stuff. Just basic shapes, lines, arcs, holes. Greetings Anselm
Hi Peter, Regarding our previous discussion concerning the smoothness of arcs, I opted for DXF2GCODE. It generates very elegant g-code using G2 and G3 radial interpolation. Since it is open source would it not be possible to duplicate part of it and integrate it into the Openbuilds g-code generator ? Greetings from Switzerland Anselm A sample is appended
