Nice, and shiny… What Kind of Material is that? Wax? HDPE?

@Werner_Drasch HDPE. I made the image using an online photo and traced the inverted bitmap image on Inkscape. Saved it as an svg file and sent it to http://jscut.org to generate the gcode. Then cut it out on my 3020 using a planetCNC controller and a 3.125 mm ballnose bit.http://jscut.org

I have been using planet cnc quite a bit, their software/ controllers set up is slick. Nice work

It’s real easy to use, and I like being able to rotate the image from one orientation to another. Not sure if I can do with my other controller, but I wasn’t able with TinyG without trying to setup a macro

It seems like each controller system has its pros & cons. I did like TinyG, but I blew out 2 boards and thought I’d try others.

In theory I like tinyg. No great software for it is it’s down fall in my opinion. It’s a great motion controller, but difficult to get it reliable, and have a3d image of cutting paths.

When I use tinyg with chilipeppr, it for some reason takes off randomly in strange directions. Cncjs much better, but not as many options as I would like

@George_Allen rotation has nothing to do with the controller. They interpret Gcode - that’s all.

@Mark_Leino it’s a Gcode interpreter - any GRBL-compatible software should work.
