What happens if you just don’t define an extruder in the configuration files?
It’s easy to delete the Exxx.xxx strings in the output file so the 3D printer firmware won’t get mad. I added it to the sequence in my previous post.
I ran one file multiple times, changing the resolution in arcwelder. At low (r=0.5) resolution settings it converts more of the pattern to arcs. At high resolution settings (r=.005) it converts fewer command sequences to arcs. It would be interesting to run both patterns and see what the differences are, if any, in the sand.
arcwelder input file: clover.gcode (31.8 KB)
low res (r=0.5) output file: clover.aw.gcode (8.1 KB)
high res (r=0.005) output file:clover.aw.hr.gcode (33.3 KB)
I used the command line executable in windows:
D:\Libraries\Downloads\arc\bin>arcwelder.exe -r=.005 clover.gcode clover.aw.hr.gcode
