Fusion 360 FDM/FFF Slicing

@zapta The big difference will hopefully come on curves. At the moment Fusion is breaking up curves into linear segments for FFF printing, much like you would get from an STL. Hopefully this will change in future as Fusion already has proper curve generation in the machining CAM. I'm yet to work out whether this is limited by the toolpath generation or whether it's something to do with the machine definition, documentation is non-existent right now.

UPDATE 12/03/2020
Workaround for disabling generated toolpath control of extruder and bed heaters. Enable Heater Control (Default: Yes) decides whether the slicer should include commands to control initial warmup of the extruder and bed, followed by shut off at completion of the print. Enable for simplicity, disable if you want to use other methods (eg. the filament system) to control extruder and bed temps. The post-heat macro property remains but is not necessary if heater control is disabled, in that case any methods that would otherwise go here can be moved to start.g.
Re-instated M0 H1 at end of print
Right now this is probably as far as I can go functionality wise. the idea was always to strip out any excess gcode commands and so far that has been done so it will stay as it is until the next Fusion update or they release more documentation.

UPDATE 12/03/2020
Wait, IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY???
-
I have never been able to understand why there are two different notations for dates.
Personally I think it should be 2020/3/12 -
Full ISO please...
2020-03-12T16:47:31-06:00 -
My bad
Apologies all around! -
We should just count milliseconds since the big bang if we wanna get precise.
-
Would we be able to do that with 64 bits or do we need to go with 128 bits instead ?
Maybe we should all standardize on the 'Stardate' system ?

Someone stretching his neck to create an optimal RRF post for F360, and you guys start a date notation discussion?

We paid the man his upvotes, let us have some fun.

OK, granted

Hah. No. I started watching on my phone then switched to a browser. I'll edit.

Looks like Joel did one as well...

Nice!
For best compatibility, you might want to add
H1to theM0to keep the heaters on. This way cancel.g or stop.g can decide whether to turn them off or not.Not necessary, the heaters are only turned off if the stop.g or cancel.g file is not found. I may remove the H1 option in a future release.

Update 26/06/2020
Added a fan speed property. Fusion currently only presents a setting to disable the fan for the first few layers, for the rest the fan will run at 100%. This setting lets you change that value.

@littlehobbyshop thanks for the update
