Re: 3d printers and robots

the fact that you are not seeing and G03s makes sense. Its not due to the controller of the printer rather I would excpect that it is due to the file format.

The STL file spec is a faceted model. Thus it doesn't carry b-splines or nurb surfaces. Therefore a circle is really just a n-gon. Which is exactly what you are seeing.
