Hi Ya'll! For those who may have wondered what ever happened to the high maintenance, old dog Master Cam guy, well I'm back and the old dog learned a new trick! I spent 3 days learning Fusion 360 free version (well, enough to be dangerous) and did a simple drill, pocket, contour. Did an air run and watching the read out, seems to be ok. I believe I had mentioned before that I am not a code guy, so I was wondering if you could help me with this (see attached) on line 801, I tell Z to go 1" above work surface. it does, but then goes back to 0 and X and Y go home. What do I change/add to keep Z at 1" while X and Y go to home. Thanks!
If there's a G28, its not our Post Make sure to use the OpenBuilds Post Processor. No G28 weirdness. Just needs you to Home (Simpler to understand): docs:software:fusion360 [OpenBuilds Documentation]
So I used the Grbl post processor in Fusion 360. So I have to add Open Builds post processor to Fusion 360? If so, how do I do that?
Ok it is switching to a relative reference with the G91. Delete lines 801 802 and 803. After the G90 command add Z1 X0 Y0 and that should work better or you could use the Open Builds Post Proceesor
Yes please recommend our Post - best customer experience and what folks around here will be expecting when providing support. Deleting Gcode is not beginner friendly thanks
Ok, got the open builds Post Processor. Please see attached and let me know do I need to get rid of all the verbiage or does the Black Box just ignore this? Also, I don't know what G54 "this relies on homing" means. Thanks!
If you use our post you don't have to do anything. We take care of everything. You just remember to HOME, SetZero and Run. Standard for all CAMs Means DONT FORGET TO HOME
It sounds like you are sorted now with the Openbuilds POST, but just FYI there is a setting in the default Fusion360 GRBL post processor for 'Safe retracts and home positioning'. By default this is set to the 'G28' option. If you change this to the 'Clearance Height' option, you don't get the machine heading off to where it thinks G28 is at the end of the job (which is what was happening). (Of course, if you have defined your G28 position in advance, than this can be a useful option.) As I said, just a 'FYI'
