Simple python script for converting gerber files into gcode to directly print solder paste. It depends mainly on the project gerber_to_scad.
cd gerber_to_gcode
virtualenv env # Only tested for python 2.7
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txtYou should now be able to run the script. You'll get some information on available options if you run it with the -h argument:
(env) $ python gerber_to_gcode.py -h
usage: gerber_to_gcode.py [-h] [-t THICKNESS] [-x OFFSET_X] [-y OFFSET_Y]
[-z OFFSET_Z] [-s SOLDER_HEIGHT] [-f FLOWRATE]
[-r RETRACTION]
outline_file solderpaste_file output_file
Convert gerber files to gcode to print solderpaste with a 3d printer.
positional arguments:
outline_file Outline file
solderpaste_file Solderpaste file
output_file Output file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t THICKNESS, --thickness THICKNESS
Thickness (in mm) of the PCB. (default: 1.6)
-x OFFSET_X, --offset_x OFFSET_X
Offset in X-direction. (default: 0.0)
-y OFFSET_Y, --offset_y OFFSET_Y
Offset in Y-direction. (default: 0.0)
-z OFFSET_Z, --offset_z OFFSET_Z
Offset in Z-direction. (default: 0.0)
-s SOLDER_HEIGHT, --solder_height SOLDER_HEIGHT
Height of the solder paste. (default: 0.3)
-f FLOWRATE, --flowrate FLOWRATE
Increase the flow rate (in %) of the solder paste.
(default: 100)
-r RETRACTION, --retraction RETRACTION
Retraction length (in mm) of the solder paste.
(default: 2.0)For basic usage, simply run the script with input files for the gerber outline and solderpaste files and specify an output:
python gerber_to_gcode.py outline_file.gko toppaste_file.gtp output.gcode
