Draw with GCode

In the first Make club we leart some GCODE and we used some (disabled) 3d printers available in the lab to give instructions to them.

We could use the arduino IDE to comunicate with the machine and send the G28 or G1s but we installed Repeteer that has a more graphic user interface and it can handle several instructions at once.

Once we tried the G2 (make an arc) and after that we put a pen on the 3D printer (too high so it’s not too precise)

After that we were told by Eduardo Chamorro that inkscape has a plugin to translate a svg to a GCODE.

To do so, Eduardo Chamorro told us about a
