Blender gcode addon

thingiverse

This plugin does not work with 2.57 use 2.56 , code update coming soon . Updated version of the gcode script from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6103 I have taken MR's instruction and converted this to a menu item. With the plugin installed there is now a File | import | gcode item. This brings up a file browser. So there is no more messy text editing. This will continue to be available at https://github.com/zignig/blender-gcode-reader I'm looking into parsing skeinforge comments , and dealing with 5D and stringy bits.
