Wrote up a post on this at:
https://community.carbide3d.com/t/doing-cam-in-openscad/25214
which shows the working up of a basic test design n BlockSCAD for a cut which the CAM software which I use doesn't support, finishing things up in OpenSCAD so as to add support for the Customizer and writing the G-Code into the Console where it was manually copy-pasted into a text editor and then manually edited so as to preview it in CAMotics.
Next up is extracting the geometry so that it can be placed into Carbide Create so that the parts may be cut out and actually cutting the file tomorrow evening.
I'd be glad to field any questions or comments here or on the Carbide 3D forums.
