    1.567484,2.402796,6.334739

    These are not the exact numbers but this is the format stored in the file. I understand it's xyz coordinates but there are no M or G codes or feed rates, just numbers. Am I going to have to edit and put in my own M and G codes or did I miss a step somewhere?
    Download MachCloud from the machSupport site, which will create an .stl file from your point cloud. then you can use a CAM (MeshCAM, Cut3D, etc.) program to create gcode from the .stl file.

    The 'digitizer master.dxf' above works for me. Anything you see posted that downloads from MegaUpload is forever lost though.

    The pen holder pdf appears missing, but likely the same as this Grunblau post on Instructables - http://www.instructables.com/id/Coil...-CNC-Plotting/

    Sorry I did not see this earlier... Here is a page I made awhile ago where I sort of archive stuff I have posted here and elsewhere. I have not posted the digitizer on Instructibles. I plan to, but I want to make an all CNC version that is a bit smaller.

    Hope this helps,
