I am wondering if there is any hope of creating a toolpath in FreeCAD for this shape? I have built it using the "curved shapes" add-on workbench, because the curved array makes it extremely easy for me to modify the shape.
Attached file is built with FreeCAD 0.21.0.33110 and latest curved shapes addon 1.0.4. Any attempt at a toolpath either makes a straight hole or fails to compute. Just wondering if there is a solution within FreeCAD, or if I am simply encountering limitations of the tools available.
