Re: New project : 5-axis CNC hotwire foam cutter running GRBL
Hello everybody!
For now I have no time for hobby because a lot of work, so project is freezed. My CNC in use by my friend who has time for hobby and develpment of the new planes. Also two friend has assembled own 5-axis cutters.
All of them using first version of FreeCAD macro, I have developed few years ago.
Because I have no time, I did not any fixes (was not requests from friends) and do not plan to continue development of this project at least until will not return to hobby.
In attachment you may find subject macro.

@HardRock , thank you for publishing your work. Based on it I created workbench and want to share.
Git repository located here: https://github.com/Shkolik/Foamcut
Everyone who interested welcome to contribute. I have a lot of plans and ideas to implement, so, if time allow, I'll be actively codding this stuff.
So far there are not mush difference in a code and workflow. I just adapted code to be a workbench and did couple fixes like saving/reopening of files, made objects (not all) parametric and some cosmetic fixes.
The main idea - now we have starting point and can go further.
@Kunda1 , do we need separate thread for that or it's too early?
