PCB Plotting from Eagle

I want to plot pcb boards on my Prusa and as I use Pronterface there was no builtin conversion for generating the gcode, so I have written a simple conversion program that takes the HPGL driver output from Eagle and generates gcode.

My blog post for it is here: hpgl2gcode blog and the Github project is here Github project.

Happy printing.

There is a free plugin called pcb-gcode for eagle.

There's also hp2xx, which converts HPGL to G-code.

pcb-gcode only produces milling code, not plotting, so it can't be used with a pen.

Thanks Traumflug

I did a net trawl before I started, but I did not see this one.

Currently can't get it to compile on my Mac, missing some X11 libraries. It looks good.

Cheers
