awesome!!! Thank you for making this, been using Fusion for years for 3D printing and i'm about to start engraving and cutting, big help

perfect! exactly what i needed to know. plus the "Save as default" was a great bonus. thanks!

Thanks. Makes it worth it to hear that.

Thank you for producing this helpful video. I bought a CNC engraver for my son and this got us going with creating our own designs.

Glad it helped. I know I struggled for a while. Welcome to the fascinating and useful world of CNC!

Great video. For new users like me, I would also point out that depth of the engraving is determined by the lines outlining the border of the text. Also, a 2D milling trace command with an axial offset can be useful to do engraving for non-enclosed objects (e.g. lines, etc...).

THANKS, IF only other tutorials were as easy to understand. I'd be an Expert by now.

Super helpful video, Thank you. I managed to use this on my LowRider that I have just built. I have to do a few tweaks to the Fusion 360 Post Processor and tools library etc but it’s a start.

This is one of the better, if not best CNC Fusion 360 instructional videos I have seen to date, thank you. When I tried this, It did take a full depth cut so am thinking can I program it to take a series of cuts instead? Are you able to tell me how to I enabled the Z probe too please?

Been a while but pretty sure I just added the z probe GCODE into my machine definition for the MPCNC in fusion360. My recollection is that I created a couple of different machine definitions. One I did a home for X Y and Z and the other I just did a home on Z so I could manually set where I wanted x and y to start. I can look at my definition if you want and see.

Which post processor for arduino based cnc?

Awesome thank you

This is a great tutorial. I really like Inkscape however for the 2d text design. Is it possible to just make the stock in Fusion and then import an SVG onto the face of it?

I have not imported from Inkscape yet but I see no reason why that wouldn't work.

Thanks!

Welcome. It’s a popular video so I suspect I was not alone.

I thought I might be able to save you a step and make edits easier. You don't need to explode the text. When you explode the text, it really isn't text anymore. If you don't explode it, you can go back and change the size, font, etc. about the text. Exploding the text just makes a bit more work for you should you want to make any edits.

I don't believe that is the case for engraving. For example for a letter O you need the two paths for it to engrave in between them. As a letter (unexploded text) you cannot select that path to engrave. Unless something has chanegd...

Give it a shot and you will see that Fusion will have no problem coming up with the inner and outer borders of text that isn't exploded using the engrave function (it works with Trace as well). Thanks for the reply and for making the video.

@2:47 you are wrong. I followed your instructions exactly and it gave me the error “could not retrieve the profiles of the selected text. I paid for fusion so there should be nothing from holding me back.
