If you are looking for a post processor to do that, please use the "Nighthawk" version of the Carveco post processors. They are not designed for controllers that run jobs off an internal SD card or from a GRBL hand controller that uses SD card storage. The "Commander" versions will work when loading a job into Commander and streaming jobs directly to your controller, i.e: USB. They will reference the Job coordinates so it is recommended you Zero your job coordinates at the starting point for best results. They will return back to the original Job zero when the job completes. Some examples include:įun fact: some other members of the GRBL CNC family include OpenBuilds, Shapeoko, BobsCNC and X-Carve – all starting just as the LongMill MK2 has from an Arduino Uno.Our Post processors are already available in Carveco's standard release but for those who cannot update Carveco or can not access the factory ones we have them listed here.Īll of these Post processors reference the surface of your material and will travel to the specified Z clearance height in your Carveco project. If you’re interested, there have also been instances of LM community members putting their own post-processors to download.

Output Tool Number set as “No” (unless you plan to set up tool changing).

Output M6 set as “No” (unless you plan to set up tool changing).

G28 Safe Retracts set as “Clearance Height”.

**To avoid potential issues with Fusion 360, we also recommend you make the following checks to your post-processor: Vectric Cut2D, Vectric VCarve, Vectric Aspire Some CAM programs may not have post-processor options since they’re already designed for hobby CNC use: To help out, we’ve put together a simple table which shows popular CAM programs and their LongMill-compatible post-processors. If the post-processor isn’t selected or set up correctly this will usually result in errors, stalls, or unexpected behaviour while running your jobs.

A ‘post-processor’ is simply a set of rules that can be followed to add tweaks to the main g-code and ensure it’ll work for particular machines. For the LongMill and many other hobby CNCs, this dialect is known as “GRBL”.

Doing so, how will you know that the g-code file is going to be properly suited to your particular CNC? Though many CNCs are able to interpret what’s broadly known as ‘g-code’, the reality is that different manufacturers have their own quirks that their machines expect to see you can think of this as g-code being the primary language while different CNCs speak with dialects or accents.

When making gcode for any CNC machine, there will come a time where you’ll click the final button to “Generate Gcode”.
