I’m looking to machine out some of my favorite race track silhouettes from wood but I’m not sure how to instruct fusion 360 to do so? I could do adaptive clearing but then ill be turning a large chunk of wood into a huge pile of
shavings. is there a way to machine only around the shape without removing all the material in the center as well?

try a 2d contour toolpath.
it will follow the outline and inside, use tabs as necessary.
that worked perfectly thank you! I am getting a new error now however. I am trying a simple shape but chilipeppr stops shortly after beggining and gives the error “% not allowed”, “Bad number format”, “Invalid command”. I cant find the meaning or solution to this at all.
Here is the Gcode for what I am doing if it helps and a screen shot of the error.

I don’t have any experience with chilipeppr.
I use UGS on a raspberry pi2.

Remove the % sign from the beginning and end of the program
