Well… that did not work well! The M32 code causes a z-crash thru the stock at the 5,5 location.
However, just manually merging the tool-change code works great.
Great work, thanks so much for doing the heavy lifting making the script.
I’m currently going through my software options while I wait for LR3 parts to arrive, and took a look at the f-engrave- MODfef combo for doing vcarve inlays.
I loaded up a couple of really simple images, and ended up with files that needed no cleaning- so I don’t have clean or v clean files to load into MODfef.
If I’m not concatenating gcode sections, can I just load up the ‘master’ gcode straight into my sender (estlcam initially, but working on octopi since I use it for my printer)
Thanks!
I am wondering how to insert my own tool change routine into the final g code file. I am an extream newb to gcode and have no programming skills. The MDocs program works fantastic just would like ti put my tool change in-between v clean and clean. Any help would be appreciated
Been a while since I CAMed with Fusion. You can select “manual” from the toolbar, and “force tool change” or stop or something like that.
I remember selecting all the paths I wanted and posting them together, but I don’t remember if that’s available in the free version.
You are posting on a very old topic. You will get better feedback if you open a new topic with your issue. My personal solution for tool changes in Fusion 360 is to create separate g-code files for each tool. I leave the steppers engaged at the end of each toolpath/g-code file, and there is plenty of holding power to change the bit without losing position. After the bit is changed, I probe Z to get the Z height right, then run the next g-code file. I have a naming convention for my files to make sure I run the right files in the right order.
