I programmed the toolpath that way. But how can you take the NC programm for fusion and run it? I have seen people use Mach3. Any recommendation? Maybe a link for a turtorial or explanation, i would do it myself but time is a thing for me atm.
What software do you use to command the cnc? Based on that I can see if I find something.
At the moment i use Estlcam. But the goal would be to use CAM from Fusion, because the toolpaths and simulation are just that awesome. I can switch to any software you recommend.
So that is the cam software. I mean what software you use to move the cnc. Like I use fusion for cad, cam and Mach3 as interface for the CNC
Estlcam is my interface for the cnc if that is what you are asking. Fusion for my models.
Ah ok my bad. So does esrlcam allow you to generate gcode and command the cnc all in one program?
yes it does, i can upload STL for 3D work and dxf for 2D.
Ah ok then the gcode are really simpler since you only work with dxf model. Then definitely I suggest to watch tutorial for fusion. Since you already cad there it’s really simple to learn how to cam. At least for simpler parts. I would suggest to spend few minutes to set a new tool library so you can recall back tools and feed and speed you preset. That will speed up operations afterwards. NYC CNC has a lot of video on how to cam with fusion and also the fusion channel itself. Then fusion cam can export in hundreds of formats based on the CNC interface. I personally use mach3 at home and Linux cnc at uni because that what they use. Limited experience with haas as well and fusion works great. Both of them works great. Pro and contro with both. I prefer Mach3 but is subjective. Mach3 was based on Linux gcode so the gcode is really similar at the end.
Of course Mach4 is also an option in case you don’t have a parallel port pc or willing to buy a smoothstepper.
OK i will look into it.
Small update, i used a 2 edge cutter for aluminium and it does work a bit better. Tomorrow or so when i am not drunk anymore i will test some settings with a single flute.
The great think about estlcam is that i can use a movement for cutting metall that is akin to a whirlwind.
Same i fusion all the high speed machining strategy use a fixed load like 2d pocket. 2d adaptive. 3d adaptive ecc… That allows less rigid machine to cut metal.

Oh lol it was the only one when I searched on The pirate bay.
Readme is in the DL, not sure what kinds of viruses it came with.
@mishrasubhransu 2019, you add a fake key server. Starts automatically when you launch. Very easy to set up.

I can provide cracked mach3 in case of need 
All these info are gold for hobby cnc work. If you get a good operation system you can upgrade the machine while keeping all the rest the same. Best to save time and became good in what you do
