Autoleveller

Hi there
Just registered on this forum but I suspect we might have met with other people at other places, like CNC Zone. My nickname is the same. There was a thread and a Java script I am using currently. Also over there I have suggested the same idea - having a file with height probed data to accommodate generation of G-code for different tools or in case a tool is broken in which case a new probing cycle is impossible. The approach was very similar, so maybe I've been dicussing with the same author.
If I understand correctly this is already implemented in the latest version but it is not free for download. At this moment even GBP20 is a considerable sum for me but if my assumption is right I'll try to become a 'member'.
Thanks.
Ivan

Ivan,
Yes, it works by creating a new file from the generated gcode file. And IF you need to do a tool change etc, there is a routine to do a new touchoff and then "start from here" to pick up and go on. This eliminates the need for a new probe of the board which of course is impossible to do at this point.
Personally, I think it is very worthwhile.

Thank you for the reply and the clarification.
I was thinking about writing my own modification of the other Java script but it seems it would be like reinventing the bicycle.

Thanks for the extensive feedback. I think we are pretty much on the same wavelength as what you describe is pretty much what I was thinking.

I have a few projects and work to do first but I have some ideas on a general restructuring of the website, autoleveller and other software tools which should lead to more frequent updates such as this in the future.

Hi, you can try this one too, multi level gcode leveling
