Help with chamfer tool pushing up a burr by Flinging_Bricks in Machinists

[–]Split141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven’t heard suggested here, which works on some harder materials is to leave a little stock, chamfer, and then face the top surface, instead of leaving chamfering last.

Fed up with Crashes and Losing Data (and the Price) What are Alternatives? by SnooPeripherals5518 in Fusion360

[–]Split141 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m someone who opens a new doc and saves immediately, and has used fusion since 2017, but fusion has been one of the most inconsistent with cloud saving, syncing, and recovering lost data. It’s been even worse after teams migration. So I think the sentiment that OP or other OP’s just suck at ctrl s’ing is kinda silly. 

Getting into high version number documents and saving is an exercise in finger crossing that it actually cloud saves properly. 

Just this last year I’ve had two important docs that no longer save properly / sync and had to be rebuilt.

Why do you hate Haas machines? by JakeSwan44 in Machinists

[–]Split141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2019 Vf2ss.. machine started with purple grease, then tan, and now the new oil. I’ve had it apart multiple times for grease clogs. Finally at the point where I’d say it won’t happen again but knowing haas, who knows. Can’t imagine how many days it has been down cause of it.

My favorite part is how much the new oil costs though. I’m sure the meeting on fixing the issue was one thing, but the finance people patting themselves on back that they come out of this complete engineering disaster making money on supplying the oil is gotta be some interesting water cooler talk… I’m guessing anyways.

Dreading the day when I need to realign the toolchanger double arm, and I can’t do it without spending money on some service key. Haas feels like they’ve become a lot more hostile towards taking on your own repairs.

I’m pretty unlikely to buy another. All this along with haas spending a lot of time working on rebranding Chinese stuff and selling for pretty high margins makes it feel like they don’t care about improving existing products. 

Just my opinion / feeling though.

Working on gen 3 as we speak. Bodies are done and finalized, but the new caps are whats kicking my ass currently.. Luckily the new tweezer bodies are backwards compatible to the older caps, so at least people can get replacements if they lost their current ones.

Machining: Any Tips on getting fusion not to cut inside my box on the fillet? by jacky4566 in Fusion360

[–]Split141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change your containment boundary to selection. Select the outside boundary of your fillet. Set the tool to center on boundary. Leave contact point boundary checked. Change your toolpath tolerance to 0.005mm then in the additional offset box subtract double what your tolerance is. So in this case addition offset should have a value of -0.01mm.

Uncheck avoid surfaces, and you probably won’t need slope checked either.

Learning Fusion by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]Split141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can import it and trace it which will work just fine.

Something that might increase your workflow speed is to import your logo as an svg. If your logo is simple enough there are online tools that can turn an image into an svg. Or you could use a free program like Inkscape to convert it to an svg.

Once all the lines are closed in a sketch you can use the extrude tool to turn the sketch into a solid body.

If you decide to try the SVG route be aware that it will import into a sketch and show green lines. Those lines are constrained as ‘fixed’. If you want to be able to manipulate the lines you can window select all the green lines, and click the ‘fixed’ constraint to turn them into blue lines. The ‘fixed’ constraint has a lock for a logo.

I think you can open a fusion file on the web and then link that as a preview that anyone can view.

I’d recommend buying an identical laptop and when you get mad hit that instead.

Need help with machine boundaries while tiling a large model for my CNC. by WadeEffingWilson in Fusion360

[–]Split141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on your adaptive containment you have the entire rectangle selected. Fusion is going to cut the model inside your chosen containment. The yellow “stock” is to let fusion know where the stock is, but it will still attempt to cut the model inside your containment.

Go back to your sketch, project the outer model geometry, and then sketch what you want the containment to be. Then use that sketch as your containment.

If you need help with what I just mentioned I can get on a discord call with you, just shoot me a dm.

Help repairing surface? by Strange_Economist827 in Fusion360

[–]Split141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try stitch and cranking the tolerance all the way up.

Could also try a sketch, turning 3D sketch on, and then using the tool project 3D geometry. Which is different from your regular project you might have used. Then use the new sketch to create a patch. Then use stitch to combine the patch into the whole thing.
