Fusion 360 post processor12/24/2023 ![]() I will probably love whatever comes out in 2 more years. JavaScript was terrible 10 years ago, and then at some point I tried jquery and thought it was neat, and then recently I tried React for the sandify program and I am pretty happy with that. Python is the only other language where I’ve actually picked up enough to know as well as C++. I am just not as familiar as I am with C++. It probably also bothers me how close to C++ it is, without being C++. I don’t actually hate Java, I really don’t like the enormous namespaces and names. Most of the time, even smart pointers aren’t needed if you design your objects well. A lot of great features were added in C++11 (a lot of very Pythonic features, IMO). In the case of pointers, you should use smart pointers (std::shared_ptr or boost::shared_ptr) instead. C++ (I don’t have as much experience with C) has many parts that you just shouldn’t use unless you have a very very good reason. Yes, so called “dumb pointers” are very dangerous. I started with 12" legs and have cut them twice again down to 8 1/2" and in the process have over tightened all of the feet. I have already broken the lower piece on the XYZ assembly and had to reprint. Fusion 360 allows you to make edits from the post processor dialog to make small changes to the output code using simple checkboxes and inputs. Given the nature of 3D I suppose the features are necessary.Īnyway, I love the simplicity of your design but I am am quickly learning the limitations of plastic. The CAM systems like MasterCam and their ilk have taken the fun out of coding. I did CNC programming for Lockheed & Hewlett-Packard for 15 years but it’s been 20 yrs since I have written any tool paths. In the mean time I have Replied in the Fusion 360 PP thread and perhaps can gain some insight there. However, if that’s where you can provide the best advice, then who am I to argue! I’ll take another whack at it tomorrow. This implies that both are code that runs on the board… I presume a modified Arduino.Īs for ESTLCAM goes I was hoping not to have to learn multiple systems. Yes, I bought the board from you but am still a novice on the terminology… so not GRBL… yes Marlin. Some examples include:įun fact: some other members of the GRBL CNC family include OpenBuilds, Shapeoko, BobsCNC and X-Carve – all starting just as the LongMill has from an Arduino Uno.Thx Ryan… I have been reading the thread about the Fusion post-processor. If you’re interested, there have also been instances of LM community members putting their own post-processors to download. G28 Safe Retracts set as “Clearance Height”.**To avoid potential issues with Fusion 360, we also recommend you make the following checks to your post-processor: ![]() Vectric Cut2D, Vectric VCarve, Vectric Aspire Some CAM programs may not have post-processor options since they’re already designed for hobby CNC use: Finally, once you have selected the correct board and USB port, you can click 'Upload' to flash the GRBL firmware.![]() To help out, we’ve put together a simple table which shows popular CAM programs and their LongMill-compatible post-processors.
