It’s not functional yet or at a point where we can take feedback, really. I started with CNC myself, over a decade before I had a laser, and did a lot of V-carving and inlays, so I have a good understanding of those features and what they should do, at least to start with.
The roadmap / feature set for V-carving is:
- Depth per pass + maximum depth
- Area clear for passes done with V-bit
- Area clear for max depth done either with V-bit or an optional clearing bit as a linked operation
After that’s done then I plan to have V-carved inlay pockets + “pyramid” positives. For the positive, you’ll be able to specify an area around the shape to clear (or will just have to provide the geometry for the boundary), and be able to specify a little extra depth. If I understand it right, generating the positive will be pretty trivial.
Once we’re at the point where we can do V-carved inlays I’ll start working through the options needed, but it’s pointless to ask for help now when we’re not at the point of even starting the feature.
And, for the record, I have this post bookmarked for when I am ready: Millmage public release candidate? - #119 by Tokoloshe
