GCODE Path Extender

I added a drag knife to my 3D Printer to cut vinyl. Since drag knife blades are off centered, it would leave my cut with gaps.

I wrote this to extend the paths of the GCODE generated by LaserWeb.

Installation

npm install -g https://github.com/vietquocnguyen/gcode-path-extender

Usage

gcode-path-extender [options] <input file> <output file>

Options:

-V, --version                 output the version number
-t, --tool-off-gcode [gcode]  Tool Off GCODE (default: G1 Z3)
-e, --extend [millimeters]    Extend each path by how many millimeters (default: 4)
-h, --help                    output usage information

Example

gcode-path-extender --extend 6 cube.gcode cube-extended.gcode
