GCODE MASSAGE UTILITIES

by 2019 [email protected]

These scripts can be used to make Gcode produced by various tools usable by UCCNC.

JSCut

https://jscut.org

This tool is quite neat but produces Gcode that has the wrong comment formatting. Specifically its format is "CMD; COMMENT" whereas UCCNC requires "CMD (COMMENT)". Use fixgcode.sh <file> to remedy this.

Inkcut standalone

https://codelv.com/projects/inkcut/

This is a tool to drive vinyl cutters and it also offers Gcode output. However its output suffers from several shortcomings:

• No cutter lift/drop between lines to cut
• No feed rates defined
• Weird scaling artifacts (of by a factor of ~0.28)
• Wrong comment format for UCCNC (s. JSCut)

Use fixgcode_inkcut.sh to remedy this.
