I’ve looked into writing custom gcode To pause for manual tool changes, and then performing a ‘touch off’ zero of the new tool Z at a fixed place on the machine before resuming the next operation. Is there a reason to do it that way instead of having all operations as one program? Is it normal (on manual tool change machines) to run each cutting operation as a separate gcode program? I have had trouble with the controller Sim pausing and hanging when it pauses for a toolchange, though. ![]() Like the video above, I have found Lars Christensen very helpful as a teacher. ![]() I’ve successfully posted gcode from fusion and cut it with the Buildbotics sim. They also have a simulation environment on the web where you can try out the controller software. Buildbotics has a fusion post processor on their website (I downloaded from GitHub) that works well. ![]() Im also a CAM noob, but have been learning as I wait for the machine to arrive.
