Added option to set Z zero bellow material + warning and better preview #67
Comments
Nice! I'll try to do some testing later/during the weekend and then we can commit it. I also saw a tree matching bug in the pocketing component which can be included at the same time. |
Awesome Siemen. Thank you for testing. I very much agree that a "max depth before warning" setting should be with the other post processor settings. It would also be super convenient to have warnings about a job (or go to home position after a job) being outside work area in X and Y with an adjustable margin too. Maybe we should make one single bounding box for all toolpaths and get warnings for X,Y and Z from the same cluster/group? I also agree that scaling and positioning of the warning text should be much better. But I couldn't think of a smart and simple approach, so I made rough hack to get us started :) PS: I have some thoughts on how we could work with a "machine profile" with all the settings in one file or panel. That would make it smoother for users to upgrade to the latest version of upgrade bark beetle without having to input all the settings every time. I will make some tests and a new issue for that |
Implemented a improvements to latest development which I'll explain in issue #67 + Image of scaled down car parts machined in 2019 using Bark Beetle
I have added four new features the main bark beetle file:
Being able to set Z zero bellow material is great, because it allows a machine to be set up with maximum limits. For instance with GRBL or ShopBot control you can set that the machine is not allowed to too deep into the bed, or move too far outside work area in X, and Y direction. This can help make a machine much more amateur friendly to use, for instance in fab labs and makerspaces.
Once the file has been tested, we can move it over to the stable release folder. Who has access to a machine and can test? The file is available here: https://github.com/fellesverkstedet/Bark-beetle-parametric-toolpaths/blob/master/Development%20files/Bark%20beetle%20-%20CNC%20milling%20-%20Rhino6.gh
