I just checked the state of the code for the changes that I did so far and I noticed a couple of bugs.
Toolpath generation introduces:

  • an additional G1 command that produces a diagonal movement that shouldn't be there

G1 X32.78 Y33.526 Z-0.25 F300
G0 X82.85 Y42.55 Z75
  • an extra movement before moving between adjacent wires adding unnecessary work

  • tiny movements (probably to due to rounding errors)

If that's a 2d contour pocket using clipper then there should be a transition cut from one contour to another as well instead of a full retract like here

Can't triage based on this though whether it's from your changes or whether the current implementation is just unreliable. Looks like there is NO test for this feature though, my bad.

Yeah I have been playing with the code yesterday and removed various functions from router.py to see their effect and I finally understood what shift_edges() does. Wouldn't a better strategy be to always transition on wire corners (or the start point to be more accurate since arcs and splines won't have corners)?

So this is the previous design but with the bug I introduced fixed:

This is a second one that uses the shift_edges() function:

In my head this seem like a better presentation:

The closest_point and shift_edges() logic seem to be adding additional distance that the tool must cover. Removing them greatly simplifies the logic in routers.py

Am I missing something? @voneiden

The closest_point and shift_edges() logic seem to be adding additional distance that the tool must cover.

Don't quite follow that one, closest point should be the shortest path, no?

Anyway, my assumption has been that horizontal ramping is going to require being able to start the next contour/path from an arbitrary point so from that perspective the current implementation serves as preliminary work.
