For maslow i do use CamBam on Linux for generating gcode. ---

I wonder if the 33% (currently) of respondents that chose Other noticed that last instruction there…I’d love to see an organic CAM software list generated by people’s responses! Personally I included Other in my selection because I still use Makercam believe it or not he he, and also jscut. Oh, and TextEdit.app of course 😉 ---

Nice! I didn’t know CAMBAM was available under Linux. Is it stable ? Do you use the free version allowing 1000 lines ? If so, is that a problem for your average Maslow projects, or you never reach this limit ? ---

OnShape and Kiri:Moto Kiri:Moto leaves a bit to be desired on the efficiency of the code it generates, but it runs in OnShape which I have been using for quite a while now. I’ll have to experiment with some of the other options out there when I have time. ---

could you post the profile you use and possible put together a demo (video or article with screenshots)? This is a combo that I believe should work well, but I haven’t done enough to be confident in what I’ve done. David Lang ---

Sure, I could try to throw something together. ---

1. Kiri:Moto: Since approx one year I use Kiri for allmost all parts. 🙂 But as @awithing mentioned, it produces sometimes unefficient paths. On the other hand Steward from Kiri fixes “bugs” very quickly. 🙂 1. Fusion 360: I design 95% off my parts in F360. If the shape is very complex I do the CAM also with it. 1. LaserWeb4: My first CAM. I loved it because I was able to do CAM and to send gcode to the machine. Now I use CNC.js on a Raspi. 🙂 ---

I recently found [KrabzCAM](https://mkrabset.github.io/krabzcam/krabzcam/index.html) Very useful if you use SVG / Dxf files / LibreCAD.
