Kickstarter Smoothieboard lasercutting on a converted chinese cutter, via ethernet, using the Smoothie on-board web interface. Welcome to the future 
( by Jason Harper ).
Could we get an example config for this setup? And an example config for 4+ extruders? I would love to swap to a smoothie board and push for it to become the next standard, but there’s so much lacking documentation.
Hi @ThantiK
For something as simple as laser cutting, the configuration file is pretty much all the documentation you need : change this https://github.com/Smoothieware/Smoothieware/blob/edge/ConfigSamples/Smoothieboard/config#L68 from false to true.
I am doing a 3D printer tutorial at http://smoothieware.org/3d-printer-guide ( will include multi-extruder configuration, it’s pretty simple too ), and once that’s done, a laser tutorial ( and a cnc one ) will follow, those were actually strech goal rewards we reached in the kickstarter 
Also once you have a Smoothieboard, I answer emails very fast if you have any question : wolf.arthur@gmail.com
I like the idea behind smoothie board, its like, you don’t buy one motherboard for games and another for writing documents and another for web surfing, there’s 1 which has all this capabilities… Good idea 
Just curious… What FLOSS software is used to generate GCode and/or communicate with the the cutter?
@Matthew_Satterlee https://github.com/t-oster/VisiCut is a good piece of software.
@Matthew_Satterlee In this case, CamBam ( cheapest paying CAM software around, pretty simple and complete enough for most hobbyist needs ) was used. I do use it too because of limitations in the current FLOSS CAM packages, but things are getting better.
