Feature Request

I'm guilty of being a big fan of the Preview. Admittedly I use it a lot for sanity checks, etc. It's especially helpful when you're using CR to know which way to bump things around. Plus it's entertaining to watch :lol:

Axis has an inbuilt preview, I think Gremlin came out later to emulate Axis. I think the Touchy (which doesn't have a built in preview) author was one of the Axis authors.

For CR after a real crash I think you would need to look at the torch, it wouldn't show the crash point on the preview.

Edit: oops I forgot the quotes...

Hopefully I never have one of those :laugh:

I do find it interesting to learn how people use the same software a bit differently. Just one of those things I guess, to each their own..

True. I don't use my machine controller for anything else so I only need a low level machine and I don't need a preview at the machine. I ensure my gcode is correct before it gets loaded on the machine. I think in the that everyone will need to write their own GUI.

Haha, no thanks! I think Axis with Plasmac works just fine!

Hmmm, i turn my back for a day and someone bashing gremlin !
I might not be very objective on this as i made it have another gremlin screen on a second bigger monitor !
