Anyone know where the start and ending script are located in vcarve?
The GCode headers and footers are specified in the post processor file. The one you are using can be found under PostP (or maybe My_PostP) in the Application data folder. There is a menu item to open this folder in the file menu in VCarve.
So guys, have made a pp for aspire.
Have 2 versions:
Normal: with no altered rapid speeds.
Rapid: has modified rapid speeds.
These also have tool changes that shift to X0Y0 and Z to 10mm, also has a Z-probe on tool change and at beginning. Z probe set to 0.5mm thick.
Also has fan outputs that turn on/off in case users use these outputs to turn router/vacuum etc (tested on SKR Pro v1.2)
These were made & tuned for the lowrider V3
I have tried both versions.
Doing 2 identical cuts with same toolpaths etc, to compare.
The normal version took 3min, while the rapid shaved it down to 2min both at F900 cuts.
May not seem like much, but would be a big deal on longer prints.
Another eg, doing 3x struts for the lowrider under normal it took 2hs 47, rapid took 2hrs 3 mins. Both files had 2 paths at F500 for pilot holes using 1/16inch bit to secure strut and tool change which had 4 paths at F900 for cutting using 1/8inch endmill.
Purely for testing times purposes.
Normal version:
Rapid version:
Let me know your thoughts 
Hey @Wirepower - I ran across this post last night while researching VCarve. I downloaded one of their free trial samples and was able to apply your .pp file and generate some G-code.
Everything worked flawlessly on my LR3!
Thanks for putting this together - it well may be the last push I need to drop some coin on VCarve…
