CNC not starting with Fusion 360

Snapmaker 2.0 Getting Started
1

Hi all,
I ran into an issue today when trying to use the CNC module. I followed the same steps as I normally do, but ran into a problem when executing the G-Code. Basically, as soon as I hit start, the module spins, but does not execute any moves.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Note: I have used the CNC module with Fusion 360 before so I am confident my setup files are working correctly. I even uploaded the file to Luban and both sets of code look correct (match the simulation is Fusion 360).

Thank you!

Double check your feedrates. You’re feeding at 20mm/minute. I’d wager it is moving, just extremely slowly.

Also safer if comment lines start with a semicolon, the comments in your file start with a bracket.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up on that. Honestly these are generated straight out of Fusion 360. The comments were automatically generated there.

I have tried again and watched it for over a minute and there was definitely no movement. I will try an old G-Code to see if it still runs.

OK In that case, I have another guess.

You said the tool turns on so it’s getting through line 5 M3. The first motion occurs on 12 with:
G0 X-2.540 Y30.639 Z15.000

There’s no feedrate specified there. Try adding a F1000 at the end of that line, see if that changes anything.

Maybe the machine is interpreting that as a 0 feedrate.

Thanks for the help brent and albutch! I compared the old and the new files from Fusion 360 and found the paragraph about rapid movement was a difference. Once I removed that, the snap-maker took-off and did everything I was expecting. Much appreciated.
