Artisan owner here as well. I’m just starting to deep dive into the CNC module and have the same request as above. FYI, super appreciate your work - it’s what makes the world wide web go round.
I’m currently CADing a dummy model of the machine just to better orient myself in space while in the Manufacture setup of Fusion. I created a machine in the library with the most basic info, but it was based on an “Autodesk generic 3-axis”, so there’s a lot wrong (no build plate listed, no rotary axis, etc). It’s linked here if you’d like a starting place. Snapmaker Artisan.f3d.zip (803.1 KB)
That said, it seems yours were configured similarly. If you look at some of the machines in the current Fusion 360 library, there seems to be different configuration options (this may be the difference between old and updated machine creator, this predates my knowledge).
The menus are completely different if you copy an Autodesk machine vs a 3rd party. Autodesk has cool stuff like “capabilities”. 3rd party gets useful stuff like build size and linking a mesh:
This is where I’m at an impasse and hoping you could clarify. I’d like to link a 3D model/mesh of the Artisan to the machine, but I also want all the capabilities listed so I can get better gcode. What’s the system to get a machine configured and looking right?
