I would like very much to have an .stl or similar convertor that could write gcode for a mill or lathe, subtracting from the specified or probe scanned raw size, to get the finished OpenSCAD .stl's output.
Or does such a converter already exist? OpenSCAD has quite a lengthy list of output formats, so using an .stl input is not an "only" choice. > > On 01.04.22 09:59, Rod Webster wrote: > >> Jérémie, Phil, > >> > >> The RIP build process is clearly explained in the documentation > >> including > >> how to list the required dependencies, > >> If you want a shortcut, I would follow this recipe: > >> https://www.qtpyvcp.com/install/bullseye.html > >> Note its not necessary to run linuxcnc as RIP if you compile the > >> source.
