Fusion 360 forum12/24/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() I've mapped out all of these edges, but don't really know how to combine all of them to make one solid piece. The right hand side is fairly straight, however in about the center it bends towards the front of the car at about a 20 degree angle. As you can see the left side edge curves in two directions, inward towards the center of the car as it travels towards the bottom, and also the face curves towards the rear. Where I'm struggling is getting the placement of these lines correct. I was going to use offset planes to build a "stack" and then loft them together. I've got one of those contour tools so I can transfer the shape onto paper where I've drawn my lines. (ensure orgin point is correct) 4/ select the 2d engrave function, select the writing to be cut. 3/ create a setup (with the stock you plan to use), select a v-carve bit. The inner fender liner on the passenger side was destroyed, so I'm trying to use the drivers side as a template, so I can mirror it and create a mold for the passenger side. Doing V-carving is super simple 1/ create a sketch in fusion with the writing / font/ size you want. You can even test out post processors from within it and the syntax highlighting plugins are very useful.So I'm doing some repairs on a wrecked C5 vette I bought a few months ago. The free Visual Studio Code is available in both Windows and Linux and has excellent plugins for Javascript and specific Fusion post editing (look on the Autodesk site). I have to wonder what the originator of the G95 command in LinuxCNC had in mind and also have to suspect the documentation isn't accurate when it talks about feedrate required. You will notice that my Fusion / LinuxCNC / G33 results also show a G95 but there is no feedrate given. Clearly Tormach saw fit to create their own flavour of post.Ĭonfusingly, G95 seems to be a bit of a minority sport - it's normally a milling command, so not sure what is happening here. You might stick to the LinuxCNC puzzle initially, rather than confuse matters by using 2 different post processors, despite the fact they both use LinuxCNC. I'm using Fusion lathe for LinuxCNC and when I generate a threading operation it uses G33 rather than G76 (see below). Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. Is anyone using the Fusion Posts for LinuxCNC lathe? I can easily see executing an MDI "G1 Z-1 F4" and having the machine take off at 4 inches per revolution. ![]() There is no G94 to reset the mode to "Units per Minute". What scares me is there is no reset before ending the program. Does G95 only affect cutting moves like G1? Does it affect G2 and G3? The documentation indicates the G95 requires a new feed F declaration, but that may only show up upon a G1 move? I have not tried loading this G-code into a LinuxCNC controller yet. I don't think this is needed for G76 threading and can't see why it is included. If you want to design parts and assemblies, Fusion is the absolute winner. V-Carve is not even a properly 3D program, in terms of design, it’s 2.5d, unless you’re carving from a model made in an external program. My main question regards the G95 which turns on "Units per Revolution" Mode. Fusion is much more part-design oriented with respect to making production-type parts and full-scale assemblies. (Post Option for end taper L1, L2 and 元 - haven't tried) ( Tormach doesn't include H, E or L - maybe cuz they are zero in this case?) (Canned Cycle - 1/4-20 thread - looks OK) G0 Z0.2123 (Rapid move to Z - start point for thread control line) G90 G0 X0.65 Z0.2 (Absolute Dist Mode, Rapid move to X and Z - Safe X and Z) G95 (Units/Revolution activated, ERROR IF NEW FEED RATE IS NOT SPECIFIED) ![]() G97 S500 M3 (Spindle RPM Mode, Speed = 5500, Start spindle clockwise) (G30 Tormach uses G30 rather than G53 - same unless G30.1 used to set X&Z) (also Post Options for X only, Z only, etc) (Rapid to machine Z=0 : Post Option or G28) (Rapid to machine X=0 : Post Option or G28) The Post(s) aren't too long and came out like this: I ran this with two posts, one for LinuxCNC Turn and one for Tormach Slant Bed. I built a 1/4" rod in Fusion and asked for a 1/4-20 threading operation. I'm leaning Fusion and started poking at LinuxCNC posts for the lathe. ![]()
