 Le problème? 

If, like me, to isolation routing with Sprint-Layout and Mach3 works, we used the first time as a post-processor logical in Mach3 thus included and free LazyCam.
In the Sprint-Layout is also well described in the help, as the export of HPGL data works for isolation milling. The milling data generated here are OK, but unfortunately are not usable in the described variant of drilling data LazyCam about. Whether this is on Sprint-Layout or on LazyCam here was once an open question. 
I have ALL versions of exports and postprozessings been tried and found that is edit the HPGL file with LazyCam (especially if you often produces printed circuit boards) a terribly tricky, not to mention annoying troublesome Work. Time consuming and totally unnecessary.

 La solution! 

Time consuming? Unnecessary? I decided a post-processing Tool for isolation channels to program that takes the most Work! 

For isolation milling and drilling I just need 3 (5) Data. These are file name, security level Z, Z depth of cut (feed, speed). SL2M3 liaise with these 3 (5) Values very fast HPGL-/Excellon-Data to NC-Data (G-Code) for flow control.

• Just a few steps to generate the G-code file in seconds.
• There are different sized holes considered and corresponding output of the milling tool change.
• Milling and drilling data can be output in a single file, the tool change naturally including here.
• As (at least for me the file name) always, the same parameters are used, these parameters are stored in an ini-file as defaults.
• The resulting G-code can be viewed as a text or graphical representation.

It's that simple. No complicated set of tools more. No time-consuming check of lines and then determine the type of milling. No more tedious convert circles into holes. And so on.

Other features of SL2M3, made possible by the new milling export of Sprint-Layout Version 6:

• It creates a complete tool table for Mach3 with tool diameters by:
  • Reading the job list from Sprint-Layout.
  • Separate collection and conversion of Reference Holes, Drilling, Outline Milling, Isolation-Milling.
  • Detection of the drill diameter and cutter diameter, takeover in the tool table.
  • Display the tool table, Enter missing tool diameter, be included in the tool table.
  • Output the levels of Top K1 / Bottom K2
  • Center Punch for the holes may be included with one click in the export.
    
    
• The separate Exporting Excellon data is no longer needed because:
  • HPGL-Drill-commands ( PAx,y; PD; PU;) are converted into SL2M3 to real Drill cycles G81, G83.
  • HPGL-CI-commands ( CIn; ) are converted into SL2M3 to milling cycles G02, G03.

What else can SL2M3? Last but not least, there are small aids such as ...

• Tool path correction CI, which automatically compensates for the cutter diameter when drilling with cutter.
• Drill depth-correction, automatically compensates for the different drill diameters required at different depths.
• Cooling 1 (Mist) and/or Cooling 2 (Flood) may be together with the milling spindle on and off as required.
• The tool change height can be adjusted directly in SL2M3.
• For pass drills and outline cutter fixed diameter can be adopted directly in the tool table.
• Single Jobs (Create separate Files for each Job) are processed in one pass of SL2M3.
• You can see a Layout-Preview and a G-Code-Preview.
• SL2M3 translates job listings from/to German, English, French.

The Program SL2M3 is self-explanatory and can be used by anyone immediately and without problems

 


 But it is also a manual in PDF format with the following content:
  1. Using SL2M3.
  2. How to optimally exports the data from Sprint-Layout.

Attention: Sprint Layout Version 5 ou antérieure n'est plus pris en charge, mais il existe maintenant SL5toM3.

A few notes about the technology: 

• It should always be created an outline to the layout on the outline layer. It must always all elements of the layout, including elements in the Silk Screen placed inside the outline layer. No one notices the, it may for 2-sided boards to be postponed on the X-axis when exporting from Sprint-Layout. The layers are then not on the finished board congruent. Also, the zero point must lie bottom left without or at least the outline.
  
  
• A Center Punch of the Drill Holes prevented as with any other drilling a "Side Run" of the Driller. This is by long and thin Drillers important. In addition, grain size is reduced by an insignificant amount of drill wear.
  For Center punching, the cutter is lowered once depending entered in SL2M3 milling depth in the board.

Note: If not, Update! your Sprint-Layout to Version 6
This makes the manufacture of printed circuit boards with Sprint-Layout and SL2M3 much easier.

Attention: Attention: Sprint Layout Version 5 ou antérieure n'est plus pris en charge, mais il existe maintenant SL5toM3.

  Manuel  

Please read the instructions carefully. From now on I will no longer answer emails with questions whose answer is already contained in the instructions for SL2M3.
I know how to use the time spent on it better in the future.

28. Update 02/15/2020 ( v20.02.15 )
For graining, a tool change can be activated in machine parameters.
Only one tool (no tool change in the G code) is now possible with all tools.
Little internal improvements as well as errors in the input field for the Ref.-Hole depth removed.
There are also some corrections in the layout preview with just one Tool.
New error messages for laser exposure.


27. Update 04/02/2019 ( v19.04.02 )
With the Option 'Only One Tool' you can deaktivate the Machine-Stops for the Tool-Changes.
In the Options you can disable the 'drilling depth correction', e.g. when drilling with Millingcutter.
Error Millingcutter Break in Drillmilling fixed.
Also, some minimal improvements in the use and presentation of the layout preview.

SL2M3 is also (untested and not complete) available in French Language from this version.


26. Update 11.11.2018 ( v18.11.11 )
For tool change height Mach3-SafeZ can now also be selected in the options.
The G code (position G81/G83 ... G80 and position G91 ... G90) has been optimized.
Graining is now converted to G-code in real G82 drilling cycles. ( Drill G81, Reference Drill G83)
As of this version, G-code for laser exposure can be created with a drill file.
Outline milling is now possible with multiple Z-depth passes .
Sprint Layout Version 5 or earlier is no longer supported, but there is now SL5toM3.
