Updated version of Halftoner - V1.7

Projects
1

I’ve updated the Halftoner program on my website: CNC Software

It now includes:

  1. An option to remove line numbers in emitted GCode
  2. An option to make Grbl / Easel compatible GCode (removes a bunch of codes for spindle, tool changes, etc)
  3. Optimizes the code stream when in Lines / Circles modes to remove redundant operations, meaning you have to send less data, and might cut faster.

(EDIT: fixed the broken link - sorry about that)

That’s it for now.

Hey Jason, could you check the actual download URL for v1.7? It gives a 404.

I’ve used V1.6 and it is great, thanks :smiley: but V1.7 is giving me a Trojan:Win32/Sprisky.D!cl warning. D:

That’s got to be a false alarm. I run antivirus software on all my systems, and it’s current. It’s also a .NET applications, not a Win32 app, so that seems unlikely.

Yep… interpolation at last!

With V1.6:

Same file, same settings, with V1.7:

Thanks for implementing this feature request. Appreciation beer endmill is coming your way…

Hi, newbie here I already downloaded v1.7, but when I open it in Easel it doesn’t let me do the Simulate function. Is there a reason why? Thank You.

Thanks for developing this.

Is there a way to preserve a minimum distance between half-tone dots to maintain material integrity? With overlapping, too much material is being cut away for the panels to be self-supporting (no substrate required). Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to download Halftoner v1.7 from Jason Dorie’s website, but it seems that the domain is currently inaccessible. This tool is incredibly useful for my projects, and I’d love to continue using it.

If anyone has a copy of Halftoner or knows where it can be downloaded from, I’d be extremely grateful if you could share the link or provide guidance on how to obtain it.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!
