- tray.pl (zf): lower floor by another mm, leaving 3-4 mm of material
- tray.pl (vd): increase vial diameter by 0.1 mm to allow for vial
tolerance and material expansion. Also, working from the inside to the
outside (instead of plunging into uncut material first) decreased the
hole radius slightly.
- tray.pl (do_cols, do_circles): removed exclusion of the first column
radius after vial
tolerance,
- doit (GEN): corrected name of toolpath generator
- doit (rdata): fixed typo ("rdate" vs. "rdata")
- doit (Z): set Z depth here, to avoid manual depth adjustment
- doit: don't use cameo - we compensate for the tool size in tray.pl
- doit: increased feed rate from 2 mm/s to 4 mm/s
- doit: clearance is above top layer, so 5 mm are more than enough
- tray.pl (zf): increase floor depth from very conservative 15 mm to
17 mm
- tray.pl (zs): increase depth step from 2 mm to 2.5 mm to accelerate
milling
- tray.pl (mw): increase wall thickness from 2 mm to 2.5 mm in order to
enlarge gap between sides (was smaller than tool diameter)
- tray.pl (r1): stop 2 steps before the edge, since we have the outline
as another radius-like step
- tray.pl (do_col): account for tool radius
- tray.pl (do_circles): lift the tool after each disc, not only after
each column
- tray.pl (do_cols, do_circles): temporarily skip 1st column
- tray.pl (main): do circles before the outline, to reduce chatter when
cutting the outline
- tray.pl (main): since we're no longer using "cameo" here, don't print
directives for it
This doesn't work yet. In particular, going through "cameo" doesn't seem
the most convenient choice, since "cameo" requires paths to be closed,
which is something the paths we use here aren't. (Conceptually, thet are
closed, but the implementation skips some small segments.)
This commit is just a snapshot before I experiment with changing the
algorithm.
