CNC PROGRAMMING G-Code basics #1. The Language of CAM G-Code Tutorial Part 1. The Language of CAM G-Code Tutorial Part 1 Posted by Gabe Enright on Fri, Aug 10, 2012 @ 01:12 PM One of the problems with using CAM is that people either forget or never knew how to read the program running their machine.
While it’s not a bad thing to trust your CAM, when you’re trying to figure out why something isn’t working as planned at the machine it can be quite helpful to understand the instructions it's being feed. Maker.Bot.Party.Mode - GCode Tips & Tricks for the Practical Botter. EmailShare 0EmailShare Recently, I posted an introduction to partymode and uploaded my own sample partymode scripts to Thingiverse to kick things off.
Today, I want to share a few more details to help you play in the ReplicatorG-flavored G-Code sandbox. For those uncertain about the value of creating short movement bot scripts should remember that this is a great opportunity for you to learn just enough about G-code to tweak your prints and personalizing the start.gcode and end.gcode files in your skeinforge profiles for better, more efficient MakerBotting.
Estlcam.com CAM Software. An Initial Review Of ESTLCam - Inexpensive CAM software CNC. Posted by Jeremy Cook on March 24, 2013 ESTLCam is a computer aided manufacturing program that is probably more well known in Germany than in the US.
You may recognize it from the original warrior knife holder which I shrunk down to make my warrior dart holder (Darticus?). I’m not sure if you could consider this a full review, more of a “Hello world” for ESTLCAM. I’ve listed my first impressions of the software, with some more screenshots after the “read more.” Excellent Features Importation of DXFs works well if it’s in R12 formatCost – $25 in the US!

Polar Plotter on Arduino and MakerBeams by roxen. The project A polar plotter is a plotter with a rotating, extendable arm.
Its characteristics differ greatly from those of a traditional plotter, which in most areas have a superior design. You could say the polar plotter is more portable or something, but mainly I made this one because it was more of a challenge. Here's how it looks: Live Plotter on Arduino and MakerBeams by roxen. The project This is an Arduino/Java project that lets you draw live on paper from an html5 canvas.
This is a high level schematic: Web Browser → WebSocket → Java Web Server → Serial over usb (9600bps) → Arduino board → Plotter When you draw on the canvas in the browser, draw commands are sent to the server via a websocket. These commands include for example moveTo(x, y) and lineTo(x, y). Dank. Grbl runs on the AVR Atmega 168 and 328 microcontrollers, the processor that powers the famous Arduinos. The code is freely available from our github repository The simplest possible way Getting a prebuilt version running is easyish if you are able to do a bit of detective work using the console on your system.
If you’d rather build Grbl yourself check out the DIY way . For windows. TinyG:Configuring - Synthetos.com's Wiki.

Polar Plotter on Arduino and MakerBeams by roxen. SVG image plotter. Vector graphics plotter The code has been significantly changed to be compatible with Processing 2.1.1. Also, some functionality has been added. It can now support "translate" transformations and "rect" paths. "polygon" paths and "matrix" transformations are not yet implemented, but might be eventually. The hardware has been slightly modified: better pen holder, removed unnecessary resistors.
Cheap Arduino Controlled 3-Axis Pen Plotter. The purpose of this project was to make a 3-axis pen plotter as cheaply as I possibly could. Assuming you already have an Arduino it ended up costing me $30 to build. Please understand that the stepper motors that are inside CD-ROMS are not strong. If the pen comes down too far it will stop the motors from moving. This will not harm the motors but I thought it would be worth mentioning. ProcessingGcodeViewer by m6mafia. 3/6/2012 Update: I just uploaded a beta of the new version now with centering and initial Slic3r layer support. There still significant issues with this version so I continue to suggest you use v3 unless you need centering or buggy slic3r support. Hey guys! This is a gcode viewer for makerbot (3D) and 5D gcode written in processing. It's open-source and still a work in progress so if you would like to help out feel free to look at the git: github.com/nmsl1993/ProcessingGcodeViewer.
It supports viewing dualextrusion prints colored correctly. OriginalGCode ← Graffiti Research Lab - Germany. OriginalGCode is a hardware/software package designed to allow graffiti tags and drawings to be easily captured via a webcam, and export the ensuing shape data to various formats for 2D and 3D fabrication. Built as part of Graffiti Research Lab Germany , in extension to the SVG2BVG project, and in collaboration with several other people, notably Christophe Vaillant and Tristan August . For more information and source code, visit graffitiresearchlab.de/original-gcode . We built a 60x42x42 cm wooden box with a camera frame in the bottom, and a 59×41 cm sheet of 0.5 cm plexiglass, along with semi-opaque gauze, then a sheet of acetate, and a black dry erase marker.
Construction was done at our favourite maker lab, Open Design City . Full Instructables coming soon. iMovie: iLife.
