CAM kirimoto API help

Unfortunately it’s pretty integrated into a pretty big codebase so I’d feel bad trying to get you to run the whole thing.

I will keep playing with it and if I can’t figure it out I will try to create a minimal example which replicates the behavior that I’m seeing.

I’m pretty positive that I have some setting wrong like the stock is being computed to double thickness or something silly like that

This seems to be causing the double thickness issue that I was seeing.

The camZBottom value seems to always be added to the thickness of the part being cut.

I worked around it because generally I actually do want to cut slightly deeper than the actual wood thickness just to make sure that I cut all the way through so it’s not an issue, but gcode generation does fail if someone wants to cut to exactly the thickness of the wood.

I recognize it’s pretty hacky, but you can slice the bottom layer specifically by setting a really high down value in the outline op. heres’ how I did it:

{
        type: "outline",
        tool: 1000,
        spindle: 13000,
        step: 0.4,
        steps: 1,
        down: 10000,
        rate: 635,
        plunge: 51,
        dogbones: false,
        omitvoid: false,
        omitthru: false,
        outside: false,
        inside: false,
        wide: false,
        top: false,
        ov_topz: 0,
        ov_botz: 0,
        ov_conv: true
    }
