1. Export Gerber file | |
2. Import into FlatCAM. | |
3. Make sure units are MM, make sure output format is | |
"cncjob_coordinate_format": "X%.4f Y%.4f" | |
4. Tool Diameter on Gerber object has to be small enough to resolve details, but not too big. | |
Tool Diameter : 0.15 | |
Width : 5 | |
Passe Overlap : 0.7 | |
Select Combine Passes | |
5. use Offset at the bottom to ensure object is above origin (0,0) and not in a negative coordinate space. | |
6. Generate Geometry. | |
1. Select Geometry objects and Edit->Merge. | |
2. Set Travel Z to whatever (ie. 1mm) | |
3. Set Cut Z to 2.0mm - this will avoid dragging the nozzle. | |
Tool diameter can be played with at this point. Too fat will not resolve traces. | |
4. Generate | |
1. Select your CNC Job Object | |
2. Generate G-Code | |
1. Edit G-Code and remove start and stop g-code, add custom g-code for marlin (ie. autolevel) | |
If needed, use M206 to redefine the 0,0. | |
M206 X-50 Y-50 | |
This will shift coordinates by 50 each axis. | |
