CNC 3018 with Fusion 360

I had trouble using my cheap 3018 CNC machine from Banggood with Fusion 360. This is a short video about how I have modified the Gcode to make Fusion 360 files work with my CNC machine.

Thanks a ton! I put away my CNC for about a year because I was having the same issues. Finally I get to actually use it! You Rock!

[@brianmccarthy4026]

Oh this was so helpful. And very concise. Thank you so much!!! I struggled for a long time to find good instructions to use a CNC3018 with Fusion 360.

this was great, I just got a 3018 with grbl control (from a different brand, but pretty much identical) and will definitely come back to this as soon as I have problems with the G-code

[@franciscojaviermateobonill6605]

Thanks for sharing. One of the options of the machine allows you to remove the tools commands directly. You gave me a tip with the G28 Safe Retracts, so I no longer have to edit the GCODE afterwards :)

first ive seen intelli-gcode the user interface looks simple, clean... Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your video it’s pretty cool and you help me a lot

[@LaBizounerie]

Thanks for that! I'm in the process of preparing 3d carving tutorial in French and your video was of great help!!

Vidéos d'une grande utilité :) merci à toi aussi

Thanks, great video, got me from F360 to my sainsmart genmitsu in less than 15 mins, nice 😎👌👍

Thank you for this informative video. I just got a Chinese cnc machine from FoxAlien, WM3020. When I try to run my G code on the program it seems to send my Z all the way to the highest and reach the Z limit so it does require a little playing around with the initial G code to get these machines to work.

Thanks for sharing

I do the same mods in the gcode, and another one at the end of the code to come back to the zero (x,y), that allow me to do many parts at the same place.
(Sorry for my english, i'm french...)
Good vidéo!

[@lynxpilot893]

Thanks for the comment. I am new, and only do this as a hobby, and will have a go at the Goode at the end. Always willing to learn. Your English is much better than my French. ;-)

Thanks for this video. At 6:30, is there any way to program the tool raise at 10mm automatically in fusion 360 by configuring the machine?

[@pitfireproducts]

I was having the same issue ill have a go at seeing if it is doing the same thing

I’m new to cam and have recently joined Fusion 360.
Apparently setting “G28 Safe retracts" to "No" is no longer an option.
The options now are “G28, G53 and Clearance Height”.
Would you have any suggestions as to which option to use. I’m thinking “Clearance Height” but not sure.
Thanks

I bought a 3018 because it was on sale - I built it, bought a lot of stuff for it - and never even turned it on. maybe I should give it a try.

[@MrCcfly]

hi nice video shame that you did not continue with more advanced ones but .. i got question can you share grbl $$ settings ? , my speeds are all off after update to 1.1f firmware

[@grahammacneill2298]

Moves very fast makes it hard to follow what you are doing. Ex. Where did you go to extrude?

[@adiputra-sw9gy]

hello, i have 3018 to, use to 2d countor, i follow you video, i use to cut multipledepth, but why first cut is raise 5mm? i use 0,2mm per cut

[@jerryselinger5197]

Moving way too fast. Jumping around and not totally explaining why and how.
