G Code Ripper

Post by Toaster »

Has anyone tried G Code Ripper with Centroid (or know of anything similar)

https://www.scorchworks.com/Gcoderipper ... ipper.html

I have a potential job where I have to machine on an irregular surface. I'm wondering if I can do a grid probe in Centroid and use that probing data in G Code ripper to "rip" the g code for that irregular surface...

Hey Eric,

There have been many times where I could use 'Mesh Bed Leveling" for some jobs. If Marlin can do it, I don't see why it couldn't be done. Every time I use it on my 3D printer, I think "What if" or "If only". ;)

It looks like it's not too far off from being something that could be used in Centroid:
g code ripper test.txt

Looks like it uses G31 for probing and then stores the Z locations to a variable, then it uses those to do the math so it can bend the g code around.

I don't think it would be too hard to find/replace this for Centroid. Even better if the developer could update it.
