Posting Code for 2.5D Machine

Kiri:Moto CAM
1

Hello, first time poster here.

Just started to get my feet wet in the CAM world, and have slowly been grasping Kiri:Moto’s capabilities.

I’m looking to pocket the shown feature, and the tool paths that are being generated seem like they will work for me. After posting the code and skimming over it I found that all Z movements are done simultaneously with X and Y movements. Unfortunately my machine does not have the capabilities to make these movements, and was wondering if there is a way within the software to slice with respect to 2.5D movement? If this topic is covered elsewhere on the forum I apologize for the repeat, and would greatly appreciate being sent in to correct direction!

I’m not against manually going through and adding the Z axis movement in separate lines, just hoping I’m missing something simple that would do this for me.

Thank you in advance and for all the work you have put into this software! It’s been a great joy to use and figure out so far!

disable depth first and ease down and lmk if that solves the issue. you also can’t use any surfacing or contour options since that will usually entail 3 axis movements.

disabling ease down got rid of the helical interpolation, however disabling depth first caused it to jump all around the part doing it layer by layer, and I preferred doing each slot to full depth at a time. Nothing a little digging around in a notepad file can’t fix. thanks for your help!
