Hi Robin,

Thanks for the tip ;-)

I've been searching the net ... if you happen to have a link to a 
FlacCAM web page (or the python script itself), please share ... google 
searches with "FlacCAM", "Flac", "CAM", "python", "polygon", "G-code" 
etc. turn up a lot of unwanted results.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
