    Question Chinese CNC 3040T Fusion 360 postprocessor

    Hello,

    i have a problem with exported gcode from Fusion 360:

    if i select Mach3mill as posprocessor the Z axis doesen't rise up before it starts to mill, so the endmill bit will crash in the object.
    I use the provided USB Software and i don't know wich postprocessor i have to select.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thank You.

    When you run your simulator in 360 does is flash red , also in mach post scrip you may need to change some settings. When I get home I'll post my mach3 script settings

    I found a solution:

    i generate the gcode selecting the Mach3mill postprocessor, then i home all the axes, i rise the Z axis 1-2cm above the piece to mill and then i start milling.

    Is there any modification to the postprocessor that i can make to rise the Z axis automatically? The thinyG postprocessor does that, but i use Mach3 or the provided Software.
