Lift will change the altitude of the cutting tool when it is on so that it will cut through the slab at the correct altitude. It will also lift the gcode when the tool is off so that the cutting tool will clear the top of the slab. Operation Settings Cutting Lift over Layer Step Clearance above Top Examples

`Operation`

The default 'Activate Lift' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called. Settings Cutting Lift over Layer Step Default is minus 0.5, because the end mill is the more common tool. Defines the ratio of the amount the cutting tool will be lifted over the layer step. If whittle is off the layer step will be the layer thickness, if it is on, it will be the layer step from the whittle gcode. If the cutting tool is like an end mill, where the cutting happens until the end of the tool, then the 'Cutting Lift over Layer Step' should be minus 0.5, so that the end mill cuts to the bottom of the slab. If the cutting tool is like a laser, where the cutting happens around the focal point. the 'Cutting Lift over Layer Step' should be zero, so that the cutting action will be focused in the middle of the slab. Clearance above Top Default is 5 millimeters. Defines the distance above the top of the slab the cutting tool will be lifted when will tool is off so that the cutting tool will clear the top of the slab. Examples The following examples lift the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and lift.py. > python lift.py This brings up the lift dialog. > python lift.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl The lift tool is parsing the file: Screw Holder Bottom.stl ..
