Print(result.returncode, result.stdout, result.stderr) Result = run(command, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, universal_newlines=True) Target = os.path.join(sys.prefix, ‘lib’, ‘site-packages’) Python_exe = os.path.join(sys.prefix, ‘bin’, ‘python.exe’) Script might be handy also for people that want to use other modules in blender. Otherwise it fails because of write permissions. You have to give “FULL control” in windows security settings for the blender folder (right mouse button, security settings).

Save the script to a file “golem.py” in a temp folder and run the script in blender from the python console using: You can run the script below, from within a python console in blender, to install opencamlib via pip. Nowadays, blender comes with pip installed. This was the main problem to solve in the video’s below. The problem with blender CAM is that it needs some non-standard Blender libraries like opencamlib. We could not get blender + blendercam working anymore (date Sept 2022) using the movies below with blender 3.0, windows 10 64 bit with the latest blender CAM from github. Note, the movies below are old, old and rotten and almost forgotten ! Thus if you want to finger joint, learn basic CNC/ CAM skills and honor the KISS principle, start with Jointmaster or become a Jointmaster. learn CAMOTICS (to simulate Gcode, prevent your mill from jamming)Īll this stuff is far too complex.Note that the complete learning cycle to master 3D milling is long and complex. You could also take a look at this post to use SplineTooth + Linux CNC for box joints, finger joints + dynamic milling/ turning Takes too much time to draw your finger joints in Blender. The standard plugin source code runs to full depth at once and will break your mill ! Make sure you install the latest source code from github for Blender CAM. So for this reason we made the video below. Setting up blender CAM inside blender using Windows 10 proved to be a challenge.

Thus you will have to master Blender and Blender CAM. Blender is open source 3D modelling software. GCode can be generated from blender using a plugin called blender CAM.īlender CAM is running inside blender. Linux CNC is using so-called Gcode to drive the machine.
