F5 Refresh display

Configuration File

g-code-ripper_config.ngc
or
.gcoderipperrc 		When G-Code Ripper starts up the directory in which G-Code Ripper starts in is searched for a file named "g-code-ripper_config.ngc". If the file is found it is read and all of the G-Code Ripper options are set according to the settings saved in the config file. After searching for the config file in the current directory the users home directory is searched for "g-code-ripper_config.ngc" or ".gcoderipperrc" if either of these are found it will be used as the default settings. Only the first config file found is read.

To create a config file with your preferred options for startup just open G-Code Ripper and change the settings to your liking and click the save button next to configuration file in the settings window.

G-Code Ripper - Main Window

G-Code Base Operations: This section contains basic operations that are performed prior to any G-Code Operations selected below. The base operations are always applied before the additional operations.
Scale XY Sets the scaling percentage for X and Y axes to be applied to the input g-code file.
Scale Z Sets the scaling percentage for Z axis to be applied to the input g-code file.
Scale Feed Sets the scaling percentage for feed rate to be applied to the input g-code file.
Rotate Sets the angle in degrees to rotate input g-code file.
Origin The origin determines the relative location of the g-code x and y zero location. The current location of the origin is displayed in the display window as a red and green lines. The red and green lines follow the RGB convention Red is the x-axis, Green in the y-axis.
Save G-Code File Base (Button) This button results in saving the g-code with only the option above the button being applied (scale, rotate, origin). Any further options from below or on the right side of the image are not applied.
View Plane: This section contains a variety of view plane orientations only one of the options is active at any time.
G-Code Operations: In this section the additional operations that can be applied to the g-code can be selected.
None No operations are performed in addition to the base operations.
Split The G-Code is split along a line creating two g-code programs that can be run independently.
Wrap One of the G-Code linear axes (X or Y) is mapped to a rotary axis (A or B) for machining on a cylinder.

G-Code Split Properties

manycam old version 412

Input Field Description
Split X Position X position of the splitting line. (i.e. the line on which the g-code is divided into two parts.) The X position is measured from the origin set in the base operations section.
Split Y Position Y position of the splitting line. (i.e. the line on which the g-code is divided into two parts.) The Y position is measured from the origin set in the base operations section.
Split Angle The angle of the splitting line.
Rotate Black The rotate black setting determines whether one of the two sides of the split will be rotated by 180 degrees. Rotating 180 degrees allows the stock to be rotated 180 degrees in the machine to machine the second half. Doing this process can effectively increase size of designs that can be cut by a given machine.
Save G-Code File-Black (Button) This button saves the g-code displayed as black in the canvas.
Save G-Code File-White (Button) This button saves the g-code displayed as white in the canvas.
Plunge Feed Because the g-code is being split additional cut starts and stops are required. During the additional starts the tool needs to plunge into the stock material. The plunge feed sets the feed rate for these new moves into the stock material.
Z Safe Because the g-code is being split additional cut starts and stops are required. After one of the additional cut stops the tool needs to move to a safe position for rapid movement. The Z Safe setting sets the z position of this z location that is safe for rapid motions.

Manycam Old Version 412 |work| Jun 2026

Many older versions do not require a subscription model to unlock core features, making them more attractive for users who need free, consistent performance. Key Features of ManyCam 4.1.2

A free alternative that focuses on basic splitting and effects. To help you get started with your setup, could you tell me: What operating system are you currently using? Are you using it for streaming, teaching, or casual calls ? Are you experiencing a specific error with a newer version?

Software updates usually bring improvements, but they can also introduce heavier system requirements or alter beloved workflows. Version 4.1.2, released during a pivotal era of the software, remains popular for several key reasons. 1. Minimal System Resource Consumption

If you want, I can:

Older software does not receive security patches. As of 2026, many older software versions may have security vulnerabilities, so it is recommended to scan the installer with antivirus software.

ManyCam version 4.1.2 is a legacy version of the popular virtual webcam software, first released around 2014-2015. While newer versions offer AI-enhanced features, users often seek version 4.1.2 for its , lower system resource usage , and ability to bypass newer subscription-based limitations. Key Features of Version 4.1.2

: Includes a library of thousands of face effects (masks, glasses), filters (like "pencil" or "fire"), and custom graphics. Source Switching

on how to optimize your PC for streaming with low resources.

To understand why version 4.1.2 remains popular, we have to look at what ManyCam was during that specific era. Released during a sweet spot in the software’s lifecycle, version 4.1.2 offered a perfect balance of utility, performance, and accessibility. 1. Lightweight Resource Consumption

Auto Probe Settings

manycam old version 412

Input Field Description
Probe X Offset X distance from the tool to the probe.
(if the tool is the probe this should be set to zero)
Probe Y Offset Y distance from the tool to the probe.
(if the tool is the probe this should be set to zero)
Probe Z Offset Z distance from the tool to the probe.
(if the tool is the probe this should be set to zero)
(It is best to keep this value as close to zero as possible to prevent crashing the tool or probe)
Probe Z Safe This is the safe Z height when probing (When the probe is over the work piece).
Be aware of where the tool will be when the probe is at this position to avoid cashing the tool.
Probe Depth Max Depth the probe will travel attempting to detect the work piece.
If the probe travels to this position and does not detect the part an error will occur.
Probe Feed The feed rate for the probe when it is lowering to detect the part.
X Points This is the number of points that form the grid of probe points in the X direction.
Points that are not needed (too far from tool path) are displayed as black in the preview canvas and will not probed.
Y Points This is the number of points that form the grid of probe points in the Y direction.
Points that are not needed (too far from tool path) are displayed as black in the preview canvas and will not probed.
Post Probe This is a text entry field for any G-Codes that should be executed prior to the pause between probing and cutting.
(If you want to swap the probe head for the tool head you may want to raise to a specified Z height (i.e. G0Z5.0)
Controller Set the CNC controller to be used. LinuxCNC and MACH3 are supported. They require different codes for probing etc.
