| Here are some comments on a workflow to get a cutting file for the MicroProto mill. I am happy for this tool to be on essentially permanent loan to the space. | Here are some comments on a workflow to get a cutting file for the MicroProto mill.

| - | I am not really up to speed with Fusion 360, and I am very rusty with the whole CAd/CAM process. But now the mill is running again I want to get back uup to speed with it. As Fusion 360 is what several people are working with I thought I'd try to figure out a workflow starting from there. | + | I am not really up to speed with Fusion 360, and I am very rusty with the whole CAD/CAM process.

| Most of the problems I have had getting files ready for the mill usually seem to end up connected with some sort of scale issue. | Most of the problems I have had getting files ready for the mill usually seem to end up connected with some sort of scale issue. | ||

| So, in Fusion 360, make sure your part is sized in inches. There are probably several ways to do this, but my few tests resulted in a part being created in mm. If you mouse over the units block it will give you an edit icon and allow you to change to inches. It seems even if you create in mm it will handle changing the units for a finished model. I think it's worth checking a few measurements to make sure everything looks good. | So, in Fusion 360, make sure your part is sized in inches.

| Zak clued me in to writing a .stl from Fusion. This option is in the "make" tab. Probably more than one way to do this, but I box selected the whole object and then picked 3D print from the make tab. | Zak clued me in to writing a .stl from Fusion.
