Scripting Flowchart Complete!
Ok we have finished the flow chart for our script idea, and how we would like it to work. What we are working on is the development of a ruby script (plug-in) for the free Sketchup 3d can program. This plug-in would allow you to create all your toolpaths and Phlatcode within the sketchup program. From that point all you would need is to download the free version of Mach3 control software. Set it up and start cutting.
The free version of Artsoft Mach3 control software will allow you to cut 1000 lines of code before it will stop. But you can (and should) buy this great software because it is in my opinion the best control software for the price. You can download the Mach3 control software here: http://www.machsupport.com/downloads.php the demo is the same as the full version you when you buy it you can unlock it. You can buy it for $159 here: http://www.machsupport.com/purchase.php
If you have purchched the Phlatprinter plans you can read the step by step on how to set the software up with the Phlatprinter here Phlatprinter - BUILD Instructions
