Looking For a Post Processor for SWI Proto Trak MX3

Hi guys,

 

I am looking for a post processor that works for the proto trak MX3. I have taken the .gcd one that is in the Fusion library and have made some edits to it, but I am hoping that maybe someone else has already done this and might be willing to share what they have. Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide!

Hi @LocalMachiningCompany 

What are the changes you are looking for in the post?

Could you be more specific on the post what is not working and you have manual for it?

Hello, Thank you for your response. 

I tried using the .MX2 conversational post that is in the Fusion library for SWI Proto Trak machines. 

The controller I am using is an MX3 and so it only accepts programs with an .mx3 extension. I did change the extension in the post so that it would output .mx3. When I post code, everything looks correct in the Program Previewer, but when I send the code to the controller all the Z heights are off. They usually just end up reading whatever is in the Y value. I attached the only manual I could find for the MX3 controller. 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help with the situation!
