Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
Morning FC users, I just submitted Path: Profile - New `ExpandProfile` feature for compound profile operations #3545 . It clears each layer laterally first, before stepping down to clear the next layer. From the PR description on GitHub: "This version is the inverse method to the previously pr...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
One could say i was too ....*narrow* minded... pun intended, good one :lol: What about a dress-up, will a dress-up feature to add width work? even if it doesn't do the finish perfectly we can always do a final-profile operation for finish purposes with deeper step down. Or do folks think pocket sti...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
It makes a lot more sense treating this as a pocket. This is not a conventional profiling method. Not to my knowledge. This does seem more like a pocket operation, it could be a good compromise to let pocket do what pockets do with a virtual wall offset from the part (to give pocket operation the a...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
Had a few toughs and wanted to get some perspective from other... and manly for the expert on the code design/implementation; I was wondering if profile is the right approach, seems like a pocket operation with a "fake wall offset from the part". Would pocket be a better option, then we ge...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
I hope I finally understood what these multiple passes are about, and if so, then my post above was wrong. The current approach is what I would call a "depth first" approach ... depthFirst.png ... where the second path is exactly below the first, and the third is exactly below the second....

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
See #3484 Hi @Wsk8, Again thanks for the work... I was testing this but I think it did the multiple passes but didn't really get the issue resolve, this basically does what we do manually create multiple profile passes one at the time... key part one at the time, that is what we are trying to avoid...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?
Have you tried an adaptive profiling? or an adaptive clearing from outside? Thanks for the reply, yes I have tried it and play with the settings, I cannot get it to do profile in straight line. It generates 100 or maybe 1000s of little circles which take hours to actually cut (Looking at G-code all...

Re: Feature request: Multiple horizontal passes on Profile/Contour?

From folks who have work around this without the feature... What is your solutions to the problem specially when we have non regular boxes or shapes. I saw @b...

Re: HoldingTags Dressup ignores feedrates
Hi Guys, I have too been hit by this issue, looking at the code; I can see that there is a fundamental issue with the assumption of who is doing what... In PathCountour.py and in PathProfile.py object "PathKurveUtils" is used this object creates its own gcode taking into acocunt feed rate....
