Rebuilding My CNC, CAM HELL

OK I am so missing my buddy that had a copy of Meshcam.  I partially figured our PyCAM, nice tool but very confusing.  I did a sample to gCode convert and it TOOK 8 HOURS TO BUILD!!!  Ouch…So back to HeekCAD/CAM.  I got it to almost compile correctly (takes 2 hours to compile) when my VM ran out of space. And I hardcoded the disk size of the VM, so….time to build a new VM.  $200 for a CAM is starting to look like a deal now.
