Re: DIY probing

Hi Gordon,

You bought one? What are you running it on? Hope you requested the
step/dir version, if you need it.

Rhino sounds interesting. I'm "full up" with programs to learn! I'm
busy now trying to learn STLwork and STLtrans.

All DXF files are not created equal! For import to 3D "surface"
programs, I've found out that just "lines" won't do. They need "surface
meshes" (thanks Fred). I haven't seen what type of DXF files the MaxNC
program can generate from it's Gcode output.

Always something to learn!
