CGinC (See G-code (written) in C) is a small gcode visualiser that can also import stl files.
I have created it for myself as a tool to verify gcode generated by libccam(write gcode with c functions).
The main advantage over anything else out there is that you can pass the gcode and stl files as arguments to it in the command line, making it (almost) an instant preview.
Everything is written in C, with the help of raylib, which makes it possible to port to virtually any platform.
This is still in the early days of development, but I am planning on releasing binaries.
To compile make sure you have downloaded, compiled and installed raylib with default parameters.
Run:
./compile.sh
To run simply pass the path to either a gcode file(.nc, .ngc, .gcode, .gc) and/or a binary stl file(OpenSCAD only does ASCII stl's do you will need to convert it to binary format):
./cginc test.nc resource/test.stl
Passing in the --msaa parameter enables antialiasing.
Use Left Mouse button to orbit and Right Mouse button to pan.
Pressing Home on the keyboard returns you to home location.
Pressing c on the keyboard toggles between Perspective and Orthogonal View.
Pressing g on the keyboard toggles the grid.
Pressing o on the keyboard toggles the origin.
Pressing m on the keyboard toggles the 3D model.
Pressing d on the keyboard toggles dark mode.
