Thanks, Projection does it, in as much as can produce separate 'slices' through the object. other than offsetting the slices slightly, can they be combined into one dxf file? module test(){ On 17/02/2021 16:38, nop head wrote:

Well, I seem to have it working fine. I've produced the g-code
for milling the original part. using a 2mm slot drill for all of
it - I won't be machining this, having tested the concept in fdm
printing from an stl file.
It is 3 separate layers, but where pocketing occurs, extra boundaries had to be added. This was easily done in my cad program. I imported the dxf file from openscad, each 'layer' separated from the the others. I edited the drawing where required, added extra boundaries, saved it as dxf again. Then importing it to my deskcnc program, it was straightforward to align the three layers on the origin, and pocket/profile/drill the workpiece. If I had bothered, I could have easily replaced the segmented curved corner with an arc in my cad program, but for me, this g-code is good enough for a proof of concept. Not sure I'll remember this process if I ever need to use it in
anger. On 17/02/2021 22:00, Ray West wrote:
