thingiverse

Human: The Gcode output is perfect for use with your 3D printer, and you can also utilize it as a pen plotter. The extruder is not included in the Gcode. To generate your HPGL-code from Eagle PCB and convert it to Gcode, use this PowerShell script. [Update] - To prevent circle ("AA") translation to gcode, set "-GenerateCircles" to "No". In Eagle PCB: Open your board layout and select File->CAM Processor->Output "HPGL". Usage: Load the script, save it to "C:\temp\Convert-HpglToGcode.ps1", open PowerShell and navigate to "C:\temp" (cd C:\temp), then paste ". .\Convert-HpglToGcode.ps1" in the PowerShell window. Run the command below, for example: 'Convert-HpglToGcode -Source "C:\Temp\InputFile.hpgl" -Destination "C:\Temp\OutputFile.gcode"'. Minimum requirements are Convert-HpglToGcode -Source "C:\Temp\InputFile.hpgl" -Destination "C:\Temp\OutputFile.gcode". Optional switches include HPGL units per mm, default is 40.2: -HpglUnitsPerMM "40.2", set printer/cnc speed: -Speed "500", home all axis: -HomeAxis "X Y Z", retention/lift Z between movement: -Retention "1.5", and generate circles - HPGL "AA": -GenerateCircles N/No/HellNo!
