Other than “the usual” (optimizations), for Maslow, I think it would be awesome to have the “cut in/cut out” points be at the top center – you could probably get away with no/fewer tabs as the piece would fall away from the tool.

Is there a “tag” I should use for feature requests?

This is the right place, but unfortunately we don’t control MakerCAM, it’s just a website which is generously hosted by Edward Ford (the creator of Shapeoko) for the benefit of the CNC community. I worked on starting a branch of it so that we could make changes but pretty quickly ran into the fact that if we’re going to work on it, we should re-write it in a language other than flash which was more than I was ready to take on.

Unforunantly we are not the people who write and maintain MakerCam, so this is  
not the right place to ask for such enhancements.

Gotcha. I’ve asked on their forum… I never thought I’d see Flash do toolpathing…
