Fusion 360 cnc router9/4/2023 If you’re looking for alternatives to UGS, I tried some others that were interesting. But, GrblGru is definitely on my list of down-the-road retries. UGS is one of the most popular senders, there is a ton of user support, and it’s updated regularly. I find that UGS handles Fusion 360 files very well for the most part, and I learned how to get around some of its foibles, so I didn’t go back. I like the probing and curved stock support. I did try GrblGru early on, and while it is an amazing group of tools, and can do some things others can’t, I found the interface a little crowded. UGS also doesn’t like tool numbers above, I think, 200, so deselect Output Tool Number if you have high tool numbers. And if you use Universal G-Code Sender you should deselect a couple of defaults in the F360 Post Process window - deselect G28 Safe Retracts, which can drag your cutter, and Output M6, which UGS does not support and will choke on. When you generate your gcode in F360 make sure you select the grbl post. Winstoy Moy, both on his own and as a Carbide 3D spokesman, has good YouTube videos for setting speeds and feeds in common materials, and good recommendations for Fusion toolpaths to use. are more flexible than production machines and therefore cannot be pushed as hard. ‘Hobbyist’ machines like the LongMill, Shapeoko, X-Carve, etc. Make sure when you add new tools to the tool library that you assign speeds and feeds that are appropriate for the cutter, and that take into account the low power of the router and the rigidity of the machine. There’s really nothing specific to the LongMill you need to set up to get good results.
