What do you use to create the Gcode? LazyCAM?

George,
That´s awesome.
What do you use to draw the lines? What software?
I know I can perfectly control the machine with Mach once I have the gcode generated.
Yes, I did think about it. I know there are two ways to do this. Either to change the resin dispensing rate using another axis for the dispenser or to keep that fixed and change the nozzle speed so the same amount of resin is dispensed in a longer (or shorter) line.
If I use the variable dispensing rate, this would be the 3rd axis since besides this there is no Z. At a constant dispensing rate the dispenser on-off is not an axis. Is this correct??
I need to be able to start with a graphic image of what I want to dispense resin on. The idea is not to write the Gcode.
I wonder if this can be done with LazyCAM or not. If not, what should I use instead?
Hi, really nice Logo.
How long to machine with so much details.

George,
What did you end up using for precisely dispensing the resin?
Great work, i love to see machines controlled by mach3 that are not lathes and mills.

Hi George,
Great machine!
This may be a dumb question, but does your machine "find" the
object to dome with the cross hair laser light seen in the video?
It appeared that you laid the second tray on the spoil board
without aligning it or fastening it to a pre-measured spot. How does this work?
Thanks,
Glenn
