Consumables burning up fast

Maybe change type of lead in

@BradFab
can you post your dxf or svg file for the drawing…or send it to me @ theoldfartmetalart@gmail.com I would like to look at it…

well this is embarrassing i have never done that. how do i save it as an svg file?

i use the free version of fusion 360. in order to export my drawing i made in fusion it would require a subscription. unless there is a work around

I agree with ToolBoy. Somehow your letters not posting correctly. The circle looks great. Nice cut with no dross.

I’m with ya. I think we are getting somewhere

You can export the sketch as a DXF. In Design, Select the sketch in the browser, right click, and then Export to DXF.

If you have multiple sketches, make a new sketch, Project the other sketches on to it to make a composite sketch, and then export that.

hopefully this worked

Thanks! Learned something new

According to VCarve Pro’s Vector Validator, that drawing has one overlap and 29 vector intersections (where a vector crosses another). SheetCam is forgiving and corrected them. You can probably do the same with Fusion CAM, but I don’t know how…
