Simple overcut python script for drag knives

CAD & CAM Tool Chain LaserWeb/CNCWeb

Hi all. I’m using Laserweb to cut vinyl on a 3d printer with Graphtec knife attached. Was having issues with paths not cutting through completely so I wrote a quick python script that edits the gcode output and adds an overcut. I’ve shared it here https://github.com/xia0/laserweb_plotter_overcut

It has been years since I played with LaserWeb, but I thought it had a drag knife option.

I believe it was removed according to this: Are there plans to bring drag knife support to version 4?

Thanks for pointing out that it was dropped.

I’m looking for a similar script, but for dogbones. If I got it right, then it’s a bit trickier because not all edges need to get the overcut…
