Conveyor Belt Design Considerations

Controller: synthetos/TinyG

Drivers: CL86T-V41, DM542T, CL42T

Gcode

After Generating XYZ gcode, you can use this crude node.js app to convert it to XYZA gcode to maintain the tangential angle of the cutting blade to the line being cut. It doesn't work with arcs so you'll have to convert arcs to line segments first. TinyG can barely handle arcs anyway so you'll need to develop a workflow around that anyway
