Do I get that right that so far the software can't create G-Code for 3D Objects? I tried it out and I manage to cut the 3D Object but then when I add a job to the drawing it seems to always remain on the same level. I don't really care if it does the shape in 2.5D. It seems that after the slicing is done we're almost there but it seems to not go from layer to layer or am I doing something wrong?
Yeah, you're right. At the moment I can't create a GCode for 3D objects. But I'm working on it. :) With the slicer you can cut only a 3D object into several 2D objects. From these you can mill e.g. plywood parts. If you glue them together afterwards you will of course only get a very rough 3D object.
@@grblgru Thanks for your reply. That's too bad but still awesome work and really cool of you to make it publicly available. I'm building a milling machine right now and consider using it.
So does this convert the STL files into GCode? I am creating my own 3d printer and will be using GRBL to control it. The only problem is I do not know how to get the GCode.
No, it is valid only for an older version. But you can see that the function is provided in the program. If you use a newer version, you have to find out what the current status is.
Hello, I can't find version 3.5.0, do you have the download link?

No, I think you need a suitable program especially for 3D printers.
since this is old info and does not correspond to newer grbk gru versions should it not be deleted.
