Minor progress with the mill, learned to write with it
Got a better hang of the joypad and it is very convenient to
use. Both to position the workpiece, as well as to pause/resume program when running. The real task today was using TrueType tracer, a program that can output any text in any TrueType font, to any size and any depth. TrueType tracer turned out to be very easy to use. Output a ngc file, edit it a bit to get the right depth and scale, and run. Easy as pie. The resulting lettering is extremely cute. It could use any TTF font too. It could also "fill" letters, instead of cutting an outline. |
