Hi Snapmaker team,

I struggled a bit at first, trying to use my favorite CAD/CAM software (Solidworks) to generate .cnc files useable on your machine. I found a way to do it and as it doesn't seem so well documented yet, I propose to share the method and ressources necessary with the community via your repo. (even though it does yet still involve a tiny bit of "manual" corrections on the Gcode .cnc files outputed by solidworks, I detailed the tiny modifications necessary it in the README file)
Have a nice year's end all !
Cheers,
Timothé

Early version. May need to recompile the CTL file to automatically change M3 S12000 to M3 P100 and to not include the top header.
For now, this will be done manually. ( A user that will find the ressources here to change the postprocessor of solidworks should be able to sucessfully change 10 Gcole lines in a .cnc file without issues )
