As per title, I'm looking for a Postprocessor for SprutCam, that will output Gcode for the Printrbot 1405.

I know the Postprocessors are easy to make, but its not something I've looked in to yet, since I'm almost sure theres someone out there who has already done this.

The idea I have is to mount a Dremel on the nose of the printrbot, and using very slow feedrates, I hope to cut away some wood stock, and sculpt my model out.

I intend to manually home the Axis before printing, then manually position the tip of the End Mill, using controls, at

X[left most of stock, forward of home position]

Y[centre of the stock]

Z[touching the top surface of the wood]

EG. X5 Y50 Z60

The outputted code should be something like:
G1 X5 Y45 F50
G1 X5 Y70 F10
G1 X6 Y45 F10
G1 X7 Y10 F10
G1 Z59.5 F5
G1 X5 Y45 F50
G1 X5 Y70 F10
G1 X6 Y45 F10
G1 X7 Y10 F10
G1 Z59 F5
; ...and so on

Please could someone help, or maybe put my in the right direction. thanks
