5-axis post processor for fusion 360 #139

I've tried editing existing grbl post-processor in fusion 360 but it doesn't turn out to be good. My g-code just got messed up. Do we have any 5-axis post processor for fusion 360 which works well for grbl-5axis Thanks in advance. All the best for future

Hi @abdulrahilsheikh,
As I sayed (in french to) in this issue : https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X/issues/107 : The defense of freedom and the sharing of knowledge being my strongest motivation in writing and sharing my computer skills, I cannot recommend enough that you use open-source software under a free license for your CAD. The excellent FreeCAD works well with Grbl. I know something about it, I'm the author of the FreeCAD-Grbl post-processor :smiley:
As for the Fusion360-Grbl post-processors, I wouldn't be of much use, I don't use Fusion and I certainly don't want to use it! The list of reasons is too long to explain to be mentioned here. Finally, a simple search for "Fusion 360 post-processor" on G**gle led me (among many other results) here: http://wiip.fr/node/8549 It's probably a good place to start doing what you need to do.

Hello, does FreeCAD have support and post processor for 5 axis grbl cnc (mega5x)? And can we use generated codes from FreeCAD to send to cnc with GrblGru or we need anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AgriMechatronic,

FreeCAD does not yet support 5-axis milling, this is in development and progressing slowly. See this discussion on the FreeCAD forum: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=50276

The FreeCAD -> Grbl post processor is already able to process the 5 axes.

I don't know enough about GrblGru to answer the question about it, but I also wrote cn5X (https://github.com/fra589/cn5X) for driving the Grbl machine and sending GCode. It aims to natively support all grbl-Mega-5X features (up to 6 axes + all additional features).
