My code for my rough cut toolpath generator is really getting good.

Originally shared by Nathaniel Stenzel

I had good luck with 2 of my bucket-milling algorithms over the last few days.

My edge4 and edge5 algorithms are currently working and apparently bug free. The other ones are kind of broken.

NooB question…what is bucket milling?

I decided on the term to describe using something like a bucket fill algorithm for a 3D space that will get cut by a CNC mill. It is milling instead of filling after all.

I put in a mode to make the toolpath for a final cut. It will probably need lots of tweaking, but it is there. I also put scale, rotate,move options and redundant gcode information suppression options.
