Parametric G-code generator – NEMA 17 motor mounting plate
This is online parametric G-code generator which produces G-code for cutting out NEMA 17 motor mounting plate. Not sure how to call this kind of flat mounting plate. Resulting G-code should run well on grbl machines (tested as the photos show). Actually, it supports more than NEMA 17 motor size. You can select other popular sizes too. Like

Online G-Code generator for simple CNC hold-down clamp
This is simple online g-code generator which produces code for simple CNC hold-down clamp based on input parameters. I made this generator for learning purposes at moment, but I already have ideas to create some others also based on this code. Resulting G-Code should run well on grbl machines (tested). This is a simple CNC hold-down clamp
