Requirements for 3D probe
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 4:46 am
Hi and thank you for a great product.
I have only just started with CNC's so I have had a lot of learning to do.
Autoleveler has allowed me to produce some nice boards much faster than I thought I was going to.
I started with an old XP PC for the MACH3 machine so I was not surprised when I couldn't show the 3D.
I have since updated to a reasonably modern W7 machine but still no hardware support for 3D!
What are the requirements for 3D displays of the probes?
In the meantime, I wrote a simple viewer that takes the probe file and displays the errors in a 2D grid.
You are welcome to try it.

There is a single exe in the ZIP and the easiest way is to put a shortcut to the exe on the desktop and drag the probe file onto it.
It should autoscale to suit the number of points and the amount of undulation but I haven't tried on too many sizes yet.
