I'm trying to slice meeple.stl [www.thingiverse.com]

and end up with very strange results with arcs all over the place:


Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

(It also happened with the whistle on thingiverse)

... seems to be a bug in calculating or displaying arcs.

Can you test,if it's only in the viewer or in the outputted G-code too?

Disable the arcs feature, it was not really developed after its first implementation.

OK - I've disabled arcs (by removing the flag from the command line), but the gcode still looks funny, even with the latest 0.7.2 when I preview in pronterface. I don't have another viewer for gcode, as it won't display at all in Repetier host.

Attached is the gcode generated...

I'm not so good with gcode, but what are all those G2 and G3 codes ?

What "g-code flavor" parameter are you using ?


Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

The G2 and G3 codes are arcs. Even though I removed the --gcode-arcs from the command line call, gcode_arcs = 1 was still in the .ini file.
I've changed it to 0 and the arcs are gone...
