Above video is working a prototype of creating a cut preview for your GCODE of where it will cut, by simply taking a picture of the CNC bed with your wood on bed. I spend so much time trying to line up the machine with my work piece, making sure it won't intersect my clamps. Sometimes I hit my clamps, sometimes my bit goes off the workpiece or hits a soft limit, stopping my cut process. I also find myself jogging around before a cut to make sure everything lines up.

If you like the idea, think it could help, lmk, or like the video. My time is pretty limited and would love to polish it more/integrate into a sender myself or with community help.
