Attention for Customers without Multi-Factor Authentication or Single Sign-On - OTP Verification rolls out April 2025. Read all about it here.

My machine does not have limit switches.

I understand the 'Home' position for the machine is where I move the spindle to and set it to X0Y0Z0A0.

This is how I have been doing it for 3 years or so now, and its been working just fine with Vcare & Aspire using wrapping technique.

In Aspire, I unwrap the mesh into a 2.5D model. Set the 'Home' point to the surface of the material. Wrap the X axis to the A axis. Presto, it mills ... With 'ok' details, but misses anything that is slightly off the vertical line, that you can only get with multi axis milling.

 

As for Fusion 360 and currenet issue, I tried setting it to 'Clearance' mode in the post processing, but this just returned errors. I did get it to work with a single surface process, however if I added the 45 degree rotation for the 2nd surface, the errors returned saying the retract will not clear the material (or somthing like that).

This also does not let me set the Z0 to the surface of the material.

 

I know I'm new to F360 .. But at this rate, I'm going to be bald in a few weeks .. lol
