Dxf to G-Code
Hi everyone,
As some of you already now I'm building a Ratrig V-core 3.1 so it can print liquid metal. I've a question that maybe not fully related to RatOs but I have a hard time solving it
.
For the first part of the project I want to print in a constant z-plane (2D, one layer). In this way I can print just lines and curves I drew in a dxf file for example (like for a laser cutter). What is the easiest way to convert such a dxf file to a GCode that my printer can understand? This is not possible thru regular slicers (I think).
My online research was quite unsuccessful, most programs that I found don't give a useful GCode for the Ratrig printer.
It would be ideal if there is a way thru fusion 360 since I've full access to this program and maybe can use it as well for 3D slicing. I'm aware that possibly manual adjustments are necessary
.
Thanks!
