G-Code 5 axis sample code

@JoergS5 It's probably the wrong forum to ask for any 5 axis gcode, since RRF doesn't support it yet.
The only guy I know, using Duet boards on his 5 axis Prusa build uses grasshoper slicer on Rhino3D. Maybe you can ask him on his own homepage?

@o_lampe Thank you, I know Freddie Hong. Rhino is not free, unfortunatley it's 1000 $ for me (I am no student and not commercial => bad combination here).

You may be right, I'll make the firmware without code. I hope I get it correctly.

You'll be pleased by my CoreXY prototype You'll understand why when I post the images.

@JoergS5 It's a hen & egg problem obviously. Lucky for you, there is a guy already waiting for your code to test it.
Quite different to the multi-gcode feature of RRF3.5. I expected to already see some reports of running machines, but it takes surprisingly long time for the 'guinea pig' hens to lay an egg

@o_lampe I second every of your words. I review yesterday some of my old posts and prototype builds and I was a bit shocked how long it takes. The only excuses I
have is that there was a lot to learn and a "private issue".

It's a shame that school didn't prepare me to complex numbers and e.

In school they told us that it's not possible to take the square root of -1, ten years later they showed me the workaround...

At least you didn't run in circles, but progressed from DH parameters to screw parameters.

that's a good yoke! I didn't run in circles, I run in screws

@JoergS5 like Fibonacci (which I didn'nt have in school also)

@JoergS5 take a look at https://fullcontrolgcode.com/. It can generate 5- axis code.

thanks a lot David to tell me! I know FullControl from the Excel version, it is a great program (I don't have Excel however). I missed the news that it is Python now. I'll try it for 5 axis.

@JoergS5 I'm not sure whether the standard version can generate 5-axis GCode or whether that is a different version. User @brendon would be able to tell you.

@dc42 there is some information about "FullControlXYZ 5-axis pipe design tool" which offers the required functionality. I'll try it when I finished the prototype.

A link is eg here:

(Edit: this links cannot produced code. But I saw samples on Twitter and LInkedin. Should function).
