Post process fusion 360

Ok guys what am I missing? I was able to get toolpaths for the crown, but now, all I am getting is a .nc file and the marlin firmware from TT doesn’t use .nc. Where do I go from here?

Rename the file?

Seriously, open the file in a text editor and see if it’s just gcode. If it is, rename it to _____.gcode

Tried that :slight_smile:

What’s in the .nc file?

All gcode.

Then you should be able to rename the file (make sure you’re changing the extension, not just changing it to filename.gcode.nc). I’m also assuming that .gcode is the correct extension… :wink:

Haha. Ops. Old man moment.
Problem solved.

Now another issue. My machine, with that code, continues to move forward in the y direction and dowsnt stop.

Is it a mm vs in issue?

Post the first chunk of the gcode it produced and let’s see what’s going on.

Now that I look a bit closer, somthing tells me I shouldnt be using the grlb. So if I’m right. What post process should I be using in fusion 360 ?

Now even bigger issues. All I get from the crown test is large circles…
