CNC 3018 making PCB and using Flatcam to create G-code
This tutorial gives a basic run through on how to crete Gcode using Flatcam from Gerber files. 0:00 Using FlatCam to generate Gcode. 10:40 Initial setup 18:55 GRBL Configuration 27:36 Z-Probe setup (Aligator Clips) 33:52 Zeroing X-Y & Probing Z 35:31 Height Mapping 39:03 Isolation routing 48:50 Drilling holes 53:53 Cutting out PCB The machine used is the CNC 3018, the control board is from CronosMaker. Configuration for the GRBL I used in the video can be found below. For the Candle setting of "Probe Commands" I use this G91G21G38.2Z-50F100; G92 Z0.00; G0Z5M30 Since the probe i am using does not have any height besides the PCB i replaced "Z14.09" to "Z0.00" !!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
