New user a few questions

Hello.
Just found about Kirimoto last night.
3 questions.
-I’ve downloaded from github but how do I make it run offline?
my pc that is running my cnc machine has no internet connection.
-Does Kirimoto have adaptive cnc toolpaths? where? I could not find it in the pocket toolpath.
-Will Kirimoto work with Phrozen sla 3d printers?

Thank you!

sort of new myself…but I have to load the g-code onto a mini sd card and walk it over to the machine. There is software to control the machine from the computer but I do not want to learn another software. If you had the resident Kiri on the machine computer and you had your cad also on that machine computer perhaps you then would not have to deal with a sd card or flash drive transfer but you would have to somehow load Kiri onto the machine computer…I use the online versions so I do not know much about that.

What did you download from GitHub? If you downloaded the source code you’d have to build it into a binary, but if you downloaded the appropriate binary from the releases page it should just run. If it’s not you’ll have to describe in more detail what it’s doing.

Not sure what you mean by adaptive toolpaths?

KM should work with anything that accepts standard g-code, but to provide the correct presets (such as temperatures, dimensions of the bed, etc) you may have to find out what is in the normal header for your printer and create a profile for it if one doesn’t already exist.

  • the easiest way to run it offline is to use one of the prebuilt releases
  • the github readme has instructions for running it from the command line
  • Kiri does not (yet) have adaptive toolpaths
  • SLA support is minimal because most SLA printers only support closed/proprietary file formats (for absolutely no good reason other than vendor lock-in enforced by chitubox which is the mafia hardware provider behind most SLA printers)
