Hello everybody,  
i have already milled a few things with the rotary module. The sample file the lions. Then I created my own STL file. With this I generated the Gcode in Luban. I used several steps for the depth. As a result, I had several rotational offsets in the model. The same model with 1 deep pass again worked perfectly. I then wanted to work on the whole thing in Fusion. When generating the Gcode I only get the error message that the machine does not support the rotation. I thought the post processor would support this. For help, I would be grateful.

@Georg2 if you’re using the free version of fusion, you don’t have the 4th axis support. They only give you that in the paid version.

I currently have a Fusion subscription. With a 7 day test for the rotary axis.

Interesting. I guess you need to email support, not sure if the postprocessor supports the rotary module right now.  
There was no update, i guess.

[Fusion 360 setup for Rotary Module - Snapmaker 2.0 - Snapmaker: where creation happens](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/fusion-360-setup-for-rotary-module/17892)

Thought that happened.

Ok cool, it sounds like Snapmaker hasn’t verified the 4th axis compatibility with fusion.

I’ve been working on laser etching with the rotary module. My latest project

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/2X/c/ce0ce62be14309a9558ec9198e79d23c0deeb4f6.jpeg)

I actually did a second one with much better quality of etching. Just had to increase the density per mm and focus the laser a little better.

Where is your origin in fusion and how is the z axis oriented?

I ran into a error when I posted my gcode with fusion but I re-setup/defined my origin/axis and it solved the problem.

Origin on the front face, center of the axis, z up.

Fusion free doesn’t support the newer multiaxis rotary toolpath but you can still use the rotary like an indexing head to do 3+1 machining.
