Hi, I've been using openbuilds control for a couple months now, but I've been getting these circles when I open the gcode exported from Fusion (grbl). Also, it's showing the time as 70 hours, it should be around 5. It doesn't do this with the smaller files. Is there a limit built-in to the software? If I open the same gcode file in UGS, it loads just fine. Any ideas? I hope im doing something wrong because I like the software otherwise.
Are you using the OpenBuilds grbl postprocessor in Fusion360? docs:software:fusion360 [OpenBuilds Documentation]
No, I was just using the standard grbl one, I thought you only use the openbuilds ones if you have an openbuilds hardware controller, so i was sticking Fusion's. Anyways, it loads now with the post processor you sent over. The only problem now is it's giving me an error about G53 even when I uncheck G53 box in the post processor section. Is this going to be a problem? The machine has limit switches (not sure if that helps). Thank you so much for the help, it's greatly appreciated.
I think it has something to do with the WCS offset. it wouldn't post at all when it was at 0 so i changed it to 1, and now it posts but gives me the error. I found this chart but not sure which to use
read it more carefully, is a WARNING not an error. The post uses G53 moves which rely on proper homing and since we had a lot of people forgetting or omitting homing, they had problems running the code, therefore the warning was added. If you hover your mouse over the post settings you will get a popup box of help for each one. Read them all, knowledge is power (-: The setting you mention only turn on or off the XY G53 moves, Z will always do a safety move in G53 because that is the safest thing to do when starting code. Raise as high as possible before moving to the cut start position. This will avoid all clamps etc (though if you have a lot of big clamps you should model them in Fusion so that Fusion can avoid them for you, height is not always the total answer).
