.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.

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

rara hojo

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.

Rara Hojo Portable – Tested

Her presence on social media also highlights her humor and wit. She is known for her quick comebacks and her ability to laugh at herself, breaking the mold of the "perfect, untouchable star." In doing so, she has cultivated a loyal community that feels personally invested in her success. Why has Rara Hojo resonated so strongly, particularly with international fans? The answer lies in the global shift toward appreciating "real" personalities.

Live performances are where this musicality truly shines. Those who have attended a Rara Hojo show describe an electric atmosphere. She possesses a "kamikyoku" (god-tier) stage presence, commanding the crowd with a mix of high-energy dance moves and moments of stillness that draw the audience into her world. The synchronized cheering and glow-stick choreography (wotagei) from the audience serve as a testament to the connection she fosters through her music. In the modern era, an idol's popularity is measured not just by CD sales, but by digital engagement. Rara Hojo is a master of the digital space. She utilizes platforms like Twitter (X), Instagram, and TikTok not merely as promotional tools, but as a window into her daily life. rara hojo

Rara Hojo entered the industry during a time when the definition of an "idol" was shifting. Gone are the days when singing and dancing were the sole prerequisites. Today's stars must be content creators, fashion icons, and relatable personalities all at once. Hojo embraced this challenge early on. While many of her peers sought the safety of large, established groups, Hojo’s path has been characterized by a distinct independence and a fierce commitment to her specific vision. Her presence on social media also highlights her

Her aesthetic can be described as a blend of "Dark Kawaii" and modern chic. While she can effortlessly pull off the traditional pastel dresses associated with idol culture, she is most recognized for her edgier looks. Stylists often pair her with distinct accessories that hint at a rock-influence, bridging the gap between the idol world and the visual-kei scene. The answer lies in the global shift toward

This "reachable" nature is the cornerstone of the idol-fan relationship. Hojo engages with her followers through live streams where she discusses everything from her favorite sweets to her anxieties about upcoming performances. This vulnerability humanizes her, transforming fans from passive consumers into active supporters.

Her songs frequently feature soaring melodies backed by driving guitar riffs, a style affectionately known in Japan as "Band Idol" sound. This musical direction allows her to showcase a vocal range that is more expressive than technical, perfectly suited for conveying the raw emotion of youth. Lyrics often touch upon themes of self-discovery, the pain of growing up, and the determination to shine—themes that resonate deeply with her core demographic.

This duality is central to her appeal. She embodies the contrast between innocence and power. Her visual presentation is meticulously curated, yet it never feels sterile. Whether it is a high-concept photoshoot for a fashion magazine or a candid selfie shared on social media, the "Rara Hojo" brand is instantly recognizable: sophisticated, slightly mysterious, and undeniably captivating. While visuals draw the eye, music captures the heart. Rara Hojo’s discography reflects her multifaceted personality. Unlike idols who stick strictly to upbeat, bubblegum pop, Hojo’s musical portfolio often dips into different genres.

(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.
