Fusion, Why 😩
TIL: Sometimes, Fusion just isn't up for a gentle touch 😩. When it skips the steps, it's DIY time! Built a Vite app to get the G-code just right. Check it out here: https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/fusion-why/ 💻⌚️
OH MY GOD. Fusion is great... but it can be painful.
All I wanted was a simple G-code pass — just take the CVD-coated mill bit and slowly shape it, one layer at a time.
But nope. Even after paying for the manufacturing extension, Fusion won't do it. Swarf? No multi-pass. Rotary parallel? Same story. Always goes deep. Always skips the careful steps I need.
What is this? this is a tool to cut the gear teeth which are super specific, delicate, so im having to mill fully sintered carbide, with diamond coated (CVD) tools, freaking carbide is what cuts everything else... this according to chatgpt is the limit of what can be done in CNC... not bad for a newbie haha
So... time for the long route. Built a Vite app. Hooked it up with THREE.js. Loads an STL and spits out the G-code I actually want 💻✍️
