I'm pretty sure I have, but will double check

i found a post processor online for duet. I need to manually delete out the G54 at the start, but my test pen-plot has come out perfect. Thanks a bunch!

Ah, I might have an issue.

F360, when set to grbl only lists out the co-ordinates and doesn't do a G1/0 before them like:

G1 Z1 F500
Z-1.999
Y26.033 Z-2 F1200
Y26.034
X28.967 Y26.035
X28.595 Y26.047
X28.194 Y26.057
X27.792 Y26.067

Will this still work?

@Danal
Thats great, I'll try that now. Thanks a bunch for the help people. Its much appreciated

@Danal
Ah, so I could do the following?

• G28 home the machine
• Jog machine to start of file.
• Run macro that does:
  -G10 L20 P2 X0 Y0 Z0
  -G55
• Then run the file?

Sorry for all the questions, I just realllly dont want to crash the machine into an axis or the bed etc

Ok so am I right in saying :

• I have a gcode file (just a re-named .nc file from fusion 360)
• I home my machine using g28.
• I jog the machine to the start of the file gcode
• Use G10 L20 P2 X0 Y0 Z0 To set the co-ords for the start of the file.
• then run the file?

How do I ensure the file runs using the work co-ords and not the machine co-ords? Do I need to specify it at the start of the file?

thanks guys ill read into this now

Thanks @bearer

Hi,
Is there a basic guide anywhere I'm missing for setting the duet3hc up as a cnc board.
I.e which commands I'd need to add to the config and stuff to enable work-coordinate systems?
I've had a look through the gcode documentation but I'm lost.

My machine is now fully built, the board is wired up and I've sorted out the basics (homing, soft-limits, step-calibration etc) but since I'm moving over from a 3d printing setup, I'm not sure what other commands I'd need setup

If someone could even just list out the codes that i might need to play around with I'd be immensely grateful

Many thanks

EDIT: Further question sorry for anyone who uses F360 for their cutting: I've managed to blunder my way through Fusion360's manufacturing section and I'm ready to output the file (post process it?), but it only wants to give me a .nc file rather than a .gcode even though I'm picking Grbl. Do I just re-name the file or something?

To be fair, I'd already realised it was an rpi image and I'd need to reformat it, I just had no idea which type it needed to be. Even a sticker on the bag it comes in would be a bonus for newbies like me lol
