Hello again i currently run in to problems post processing my CAM toolpaths from Fusion 360 in to Open builds. When i use grbl post processing it stops the operation somewhere in the path always at the same point. When i use Openbuilds post processing Fusion 360 puts out a error message and the code doesnt run at all. im Currently using a MKS DLC32 mainboard with MKSLaserTool Drivers and a Proxxon Spindle
That is not an error message - it is telling you that you didn't set a workplace co-ordinate system in Fusion cam set up, so it is selecting the first one (G54) for you - the code should then run. To help us work out why the file won't run please upload your g-code files, telling us which was created with the grbl post processor and which with the Openbuilds one.. Please clarify whether you are outputting code for your spindle or for a laser. Alex.
i do not output code to the spindle. i have labled the codes acordign to the used postprocessing thank you for helping
im somewhat intrested in creating a easy User Guide for beginner CNC-hobbyists who want to build a CNC router themself. looking up parts, software settings, hardware configurations, machin wireing and much more took me about a year. I cant understand why there are so many more and way easier to set up 3D printers then cnc routers. Having a place with one uniform affordable Hardware setup and a reliable software solution for a commmon used CAM programm like fusion 360 would be such a game changer for hobbyists. Also thats a reason why i like to use Openbuilds software <3 (i have a background in chem. research and have to create and use Hardware/Process/Software manuals)
Both of those GCode files are OK, and either should run through without problems. If your machine is stopping, it may well be EMI
As @Misterg said, the only unusual thing I spotted in the file post processed with the grbl post was a couple of arcs in the YZ plane. I would recommend sticking with the Openbuilds post processor. Alex.
As Alex pointed out, this is warning. It doesnt effect code generation. If you want to avoid this warning in the future, either always make sure you set your WCS in the job setup. Or if you dont want to remember to do it, you can set G54 as your default WCS. You do this by setting your WCS to 1 (which is G54), then right click on it and select "set default".
As in the Autodesk grbl post? I thought that might be the case but I've not seen lead ins done like that - don't use that post. Thanks for the info. Alex.
Update: i set the WCS to 1 and the massage doesnt apear anymore. the code wont execute and stops 6sec after starting and raising the z axis. simulating the code in Openbuild Controll works smothly even tough the build area seams off
The GCode you posted previously cuts a line with a step in it and then stops - about 6 seconds. What are you expecting it to do? - Post your F360 file and describe what you're trying to achieve if you wish.
oh yea sorry i didnt mentioned i tired on a new file to cut a circle. the line test file isnt cut correctly all the way to the end. the general problem i run in to with Openbuilds postprocessing is that it stops right after starting the job. im wondering why some gcode runs and some dont. especialy when using openbuilds control with openbuilds postprocessing. might not be a gcode problem since it can be simulated.
I can't see anything in that g-code that would cause that issue. One thing that puzzled me in your first post (I don't know anything about your control board apart from the fact that it is an ESP32 board) was that you mentioned that you were using "MKSLaserTool Drivers and a Proxxon Spindle" - why the Laser Tool Drivers? Alex.
those drivers are stockware for the Mainboard. i have tried fluidNC drivers but with those installed the mainboard stards to get noisy and the stepper drivers got very hot. since im not planing on using a digital controlled spindle the drivers should be fine ?

Can do. Also thank you guys for taking my problem serious. Had local forums reject my idea. added a pic the current Mainboard setting as well. (one motor driver is missing for taking the pic of the lever config underneath)
Is this the firmware you used? I don't think your stepper drivers are really up to the job of running a cnc machine - they are OK for 3d printers and probably a belt driven laser but can't provide the current the stepper motors used on most cnc machines will need. Are you getting any error messages from your controller? Your controller was obviously designed with lasers in mind - cnc milling/routing seems to have been an afterthought. If/when we get your machine running you should consider replacing those step-stick stepper drivers with decent external (I believe you can do that with your board?) stepper drivers. Alex.
In the simulation? I don't have Openbuilds Control on this PC so I can't run the simulation at the moment. Alex.
Is the model of the MKS DLC32 that you have meant to be controlled from a PC, or is it intended to be a stand alone controller - I've seen references suggesting the latter? Alex.
cannot see anything wrong with the Gcode, but I do see that the post version is 1.0.32, the latest is 1.0.36, please upgrade so we are all using the same post. docs:software:fusion360 [OpenBuilds Documentation] a little snippet of your Gcode Code: (Operation 1 of 1 : 2D-Kontur3) G54 (This relies on homing, see https://openbuilds.com/search/127200199/?q=G53+fusion ) G53 G0 Z-10 G0 X15.7 Y38.4 S5000 M3 <--------------------------- that is turning the spindle on at 5000 RPM G4 P1.8 G0 X15.7 Y38.4 Z15 F800 Z5 G1 Z1 F267 Z-1 [/code
@Dr.Deo, you might find this link interesting;- Upgraded 3018 Pro using MGN15H Linear Rails and a 500w Spindle @dJOS_500 can you see any reason why @Dr.Deo is having these problems? Alex.
i tried cutting the circle with grbl postprocessing and it seems to work even tough the circle is off by 2mm and i broke some bits. No luck with the openbuilds post processing though @dJOS_500 i like your build and would realy appreciate your help
You are pushing your machine a bit hard. For hobby level machines I recommend starting with a depth of cut (depth per pass) 1/2 the diameter of the bit.
