As a mad scientist myself, and only recently realised that I can build my own CNC ROUTER, it is really exciting.
In collecting parts and cruising this site I see that both the auction and classified sections have great potential yet are underused. As a wood-worker, metal worker, mechanic there are sometimes little shortcuts help and save time.
This being said, I see the g-codes as mini programs no different than little shareware and wood patters which are bought and shared enveryday online. Seeing the creations in the picture sections of this site and elsewhere I'd propose sharing the design g-codes or selling them to each other for $5 to $20 so others can just copy into Mach 3 and create, improve or use.
I saw an engraving of Christ the other day I'd be willing to pay $100 for the script for my own use. Same for other designs seen on here.
Anyone else thought the same thing? I looked for samples or sellers of G-code online but there isn't any. There are some wizards in Mach 3 but need to expand catalog for hobbiest. Any input appreciated.
