SOFTWARE

USING CAD.PY

To generate the G-code, we like CAD.PY, a Python script from MIT
For an overview of open-source G-code generators, we refer to:
http://replicat.org/generators

For the links to the software & installation instructions go to the download-page.

A short tutorial on the use of CAD.PY to create a milling pattern from a 2D bitmap:

USING REPLICATORG

We currently use ReplicatorG to control the machine and send G-code to it.
http://replicat.org/
You need to install ReplicatorG, then copy the driver-file for our machine into the 'machines' directory

SEPTEMBER 25th 2011 - We published version 1.08 of our machine. See Downloadsor Thingiverse for the DXF-file,

Version 1.08 features:
-a more rigid Z-axis
-version numbering engraved on all the parts
-a dual-nut/anti-backlash system on the Y-axis, greatly improving accuracy (better than 0,2mm)
