Here it it comes: Fence link
A couple more panels are in the pipeline. Give me a year or so.

Procedure to produce sections of gcode in makercam:

  1. Load your design into makercam.com
  2. Click, hold, and drag the section you want gcode from. You just have to touch the perimeter. The parts turn red.
  3. Leave the other sections unmarked. They stay black
  4. CAM/Profile operation => enter your parameters => confirm with ok
  5. inside turns blue
  6. CAM/calculate all => tool paths appear around or inside the marked area
  7. CAM/export gcode => select profile path, export gcode, select sensible file name like “StonesLeft.nc”, save and close window
  8. mark the parts again and delete them.
  9. pick the next section and repeat until you have them all.

This is a little bit more work, but gave me the option to cut this at different days.
I left the system running at all times until I was done with the sheet.
I didn’t notice any offsets from section to section, but it was also not very important for this project. I also marked the 0,0 point of my drawing. With my laserpointer I could go back and define home as needed, though I didn’t have to use this backup option.

I hope that helps a little.
Let me know if you have questions.
Tschöhö
