managed to get it assembled in a2plus too, with minimal clutter using arch external references (suggested at https://github.com/kbwbe/A2plus/issues/ ... -489298386)

Re: Probably the most complex thing I've cut so far
some people even cut aluminium with it: https://www.vicious1.com/forum/topic/more-aluminium-testing/ (and I think I saw mentions about steel too) The material in the photo is poplar plywood, so it goes through it like butter (hence the 15mm/s - I think I could go to 20mm/s easily); plastic will defi...

Re: Probably the most complex thing I've cut so far
I placed the bodies in parts hoping that a2plus would import them as separate objects, but nope... anyway, since I managed to get the file organized and looking neat enough I thought I'd share

Probably the most complex thing I've cut so far
Certainly maxed out the size my MPCNC can cut, I keep postponing that rebuild to make it larger... sheet fixed with the classic masking tape + super glue combo, then the CNC drilled a bunch of strategically placed holes so I could screw it down, paused, moved out of the way, paused again, then proce...

Re: Improve Facing Op (and others?)
I'm not even sure how "extend X/Y/etc" is less of a "dirty hack" than the rest of the solutions

Re: Improve Facing Op (and others?)
the "does not cover the whole thing" issue is easily solved by making the stock a bit larger and using that for the boundary; I have more of an issue with the fact that it does a lift + plunge for every trace with that pattern :) (also, spiral seems to stop after 2 turns for some reason, s...

Re: [question] - FreeCAD and Xcarve machine
I don't have an Xcarve, but I do have a machine driven by GRBL; I use cnc.js on an orange pi zero to control the thing and send gcode, the freecad GRBL postprocessor works fine with it as for generating the gcode, since you watched sliptonic's videos already, just click random things until it works ...

strange arc error
The attached file works almost perfectly, until GRBL stops with > G2 X256.7519 Y189.0722 Z-4.0000 I-305.4642 J7.0490 F900.00 (line=3191) error:33 (Invalid gcode ID:33) error:33 (Invalid gcode ID:33) (error 33 is GRBL's way of saying it's an invalid arc), and the rendering shows something fishy in th...

Re: Start Points and order in face based toolpaths
if by test you mean freecad file, here it is:
(I have no idea how I could ever unit test this)
