Correct Orientation when loading to Repeater

Hello,

I constantly have trouble when uploading a CNC .Gcode file to repeater. Rarely does it put it on the bed in the correct location, so i end up fighting with it until i give up and walk away for a while. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for this? I have deadline to make plaques and losing time in software is holding back actually getting the machine to do the tasks correctly.

Only a few of us are actually using Fusion to generate the GCode, Estlcam is the mostly used software and pretty easy to use. Maybe have a look at it? The learning curve is basically non-existant. :slight_smile:

Thank you for the quick response,

I usually end up with 30+ colors and lines messed up in Estlcam (some of my projects work flawlessly in Estlcam tho!) I use exclusively Inventor and Fusion currently for all design needs and would like to stay in the environment, with the MPCNC plug it is a game changer.

I was able to get it to behave in estlcam finally but the tool paths look off, too many holding tabs, and it looks like it is automatically facing the part when all i need to do is cut it out.

If anyone else runs into the problem go back to design and rotate the model. I solved it this morning!
