Thanks for sending. I noticed in this other version of the manual that the kerf width is 0.09in. Do you know where to set that in fusion? Also where to set the IPM in fusion? manual is recommending 50. Others on the forum mentioned around 15.
The kerf is set in the tool setting in the tool library of fusion. I already sent you a screenshot above that shows you where to set IPM in the 2D cut profile, first tab. I don’t think you can set pauses in Fusion I think you need to edit the G-code for that. You can pause it manuallly in Firecontrol. I would keep it simple until you have the basics down.
UPDATE: as @TinWhisperer points out you can in fact add it to the g code in Fusion, I stand corrected!
Great to use when a potential tip up issue can threaten a cut. I am going to try it and see if the simulation shows the pause, then start using this method. I’ve been trying to jump in there with a pole magnet and snag tip ups.
BTW, that first time when you tried to enter 20 secs and it only showed 5 in GCode, wasn’t sure if you remembered initially you entered 5, then backspaced over it and entered 20. Seems like that “crappy F360” liked the first answer the best
Unless you want to go into the tap file and enter the lines, I believe your option for us learning this is to put it in between tool paths.
You move the various tool paths (including the dwell “tool path”) with a left click and hold with the mouse and then move it up or down the tree of tool paths. You will see a line indicating where it will drop. Dropping by letting go of the left mouse button. So, you can create the dwell command/tool path at the end of the entire project and just move it to where you want.
That is what I remember from Tin’s demonstration. I admit that I forgot this instruction so the pictures were good for refreshing.
I won’t be able to watch live. Hopefully it will be available later.
I always like more understanding of the contour selection menus in the CAM. The part that really messes me up is when I try to edit a tool path and remove, add or change of contour (inside/outside). It does not mess up every time but when it does I just have to delete the entire selection and start over. It seems to lock up and stop responding to mouse clicks and will change to a different color for the contour. I know it is trying to tell me something. I just don’t know what.
Edit: I got to watch this about 7:30 pm. Thank you @TinWhisperer so much. It was cutting and not cutting one side or the other of a rectangle that gave me most fits. Pressing on the gear was the element I was missing. It used to access this feature by a right click on the line you did not want before the most recent update. Okay…I will try to keep quiet for a bit and give others a chance.
For me videos are the best. I see you can save your own Twitch videos but I cant save one of yours. How To Save and Export Twitch Streams | DataProt.
Ok I found a way to save the Twitch Videos so I am set moving forward.
Thanks
Another thing you could do is if you let me know what video and the timestamp you want saved and I can do a video" highlight"and that video will be available on twitch forever.
Cuz a lot of the time the whole video isn’t relevant so if you knew that you needed from 10 minutes to 17 minutes on a video for example let me know and I’ll make a highlight
