You can track it at https://github.com/buildbotics/bbctrl-firmware/issues/83 . It is considered important, but we do not have this task...

I don't know. As a Vectric customer, it would be great if you contacted their tech support to find out when they will add it to their software. Feel free to give them our github link where we have the vectric post processors that we created. https://github.com/buildbotics/bbctrl-posts/tree/master/ve...

I looked at your pictures on FB, and the machine looks great!
