No clue, I have a fusion abo, because I make parts to sell.

Uwe

If you use manual tool change in Fusion, you will be prompted to change the tools.

If your mill is good, no problem to digitize with less than 0.01mm deviation with the KP3 probe. The smallest tip I use is 1mm diameter. Rhino to convert point clouds to STEP. But you can also mill shapes without CAM if you use a round tip mill with the same diameter as the probe. For simple shapes ...

Good news, since I am used to the Opcon on my lathe.

Connected now.

What I found out ist that the 5m extension is only working with max. 0.5m primary USB cable.

Makes sense, because by standard USB2.0 is limited to 5m.

Improved Ethernet Communications from the PC to the BBG on Acorn which should eliminate having to go to the...

I have 90:1 on my mill with 4000 Steps, works very well.

You can fit a harmonic drive on the stepper for high reduction without backlash.

Do not use Odd Numbers as a result for reduction rates, this will end up in rounding errors.

Rotary Axes are working in degrees, so take care that the step resolution can drive to 0.01 or 0.001 degree whatever precision you want to achieve.
