💖 gcode_sectioncut 💖

okay so real quick, before we get into it — this is the manual page for gcode_sectioncut, a lil command from the User Commands fam. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this together 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

gcode_sectioncut — the girlies are generating section cuts from a gcode file, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gcode_sectioncut [ OPTIONS ] file.gcode

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options first, then your gcode file, periodt 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gcode_sectioncut is a script — literally just a script, she's not out here being a whole compiled binary — and what she does is take your gcode files and generate section-cuts from them. and not just any section-cuts, bestie. we're talking SVG files. like, actual scalable vector graphics. art. 👑

so you feed her a gcode file, she hands you back section cuts as SVGs. that's the whole relationship. iconic honestly 🌈

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --help — prints the usage screen and then dips. that's it. she's done. exit stage left 💀
• --layer-height, -h — use the layer height you specify. you're the main character here, you pick ✨
• --extrusion-width, -w — use the extrusion width you specify. again, your call, bestie 🎀
• --scale — the factor for converting G-code units into SVG units. this is the little translator between two whole worlds, iykyk 🌸

ngl the short flags are doing the most here — -h is layer height, not help, so don't come crying to me when you muscle-memory it and get a layer height instead of a usage screen 😭

and that's the page, babe! this lil beauty comes to you from Slic3r, dated June 2014 — yes she's been serving section cuts since 2014 and she's still eating 💖 thank you for coming to my ted talk, go make some SVGs, ily, bye 🫶🌸💅
