    I see they've added this to SOLIDWORKS Maker. Anyone know if this supports grbl in any meaningful way? Or should I just spend the $10 for a month of it to see what it can do?

    "all your data safely in the cloud" is a phrase that strikes terror in me and most people in Africa. on any given day there is no guarantee that we will be able to access the cloud (1), but if I have local data I can still get work done. cloud is great storage, and a reasonable '1 of my 3 copies' backup solution, but for us in NOT great as a daily access requirement.

    (1) or indeed not even all day due to loadshedding (rolling blackouts) causing network outages. myself due for 2 hours off from 11am, was off for 4 hours from 1am till 5am, and more later today.

    I think my network last went down in 2016. Ignoring power outages and changing out of routers.
