Quality of life patches to Autodesk's Fusion 360 Grbl Laser post processor. Designed for use with the SainSmart Genmitsu CNC Router 3018-PRO machine and firmware on Grbl version 1.1 (with no 1.1 exclusive features used).

Changes

  • Implements the onPower function, ensuring the laser cutter is turned on and off between moves instead of remaining always on and creating burn streaks.
  • throughPower, etchPower and vaporizePower properties are now multipliers of the newly added maxPowerLevel property. This reduces the usage of firmware dependent magic numbers and simplifies scale adjustments.
  • Adds throughPassCount which enables duplicating through cutting operations (with optional comment header).

Usage

  • Ensure you have Git installed.
