  • Hello~~ I Want the pycam++ ( QT or C++) Version. There is the pycam++-0.1.0 Version. I want the pycam++-0.5.1 Version. Please Help me.
  • I have to start tried pycam in the terminal and receive the following error message. Psyco is not available (performance will probably suffer slightly) Enabled 2 parallel local processes Font directory: /Users/werner/Downloads/pycam-0.5.1/share/fonts ** Gtk:ERROR:gtkrecentmanager.c:2074:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL) Abort logout Software Installed: X11 Macports XQuartz OSX 10.7.5
  • Great tool! But on windows I cant' load binary .stl, modified Utils\__init__.py: def open(self): if self.is_local(): return open(self.get_local_path(),'rb') then it works fine. But I didn't get the gtk stuff with python 2.7 running, so it would be great to get an updated binary!
  • I think you guys are on the right track but your STL import does not work. I have a script that might help... please let me know if you are interested.
  • Very good Software.
