With CNC3018 Pro kit I received two sets of 10 bits each, one with carving bits and the other with endmill bits. The window which opens should have as title the path you selected before.Ĭlick the middle button from the left to make a new library. If no dialog is opened, select again ToolBit Library editor from Path menu.
I recommend you do not copy examples to your new library (they will only clutter it) - answer No twice. Afterwards, it prompts you to create some subdirectories. Accept it and choose a writable folder (note that this folder can be copied to other device and imported into FreeCAD). It will ask you if you want to select a working directory. Go to Path menu and choose ToolBit Library editor. Ignore any errors in FreeCAD Report View and click Apply. Feel free to deselect all unused processors (maybe this will speed-up workbench loading) and select grbl as default one. I prefer to overwrite existing files so I can update/fix previous designs without being asked every time where to save the G-code file. I used a fixed path for all my G-code files. This will tell FreeCAD to output G-code file in the same folder with project file. If you don't know what to add here, enter %D/%d-%j.nc. Go to Post Processor section and let's create a default path for generated G-code files. In Job Preferences tab, General section, clear any folder paths (FreeCAD will ask for these when we create the first toolbit library and a default installation comes with this path empty).
Switch to Path workbench preferences in the left sidebar. Unit system: Metric small parts & CNC (mm, mm/min)ĭo not close the Preferences dialog yet.In the General section, go to Units tab and make the following modifications: Once Path workbench has loaded, go to Preferences (from Edit menu). There is no need to create an object in the document or to save the project when you will have to close FreeCAD.

Start FreeCAD and make a new document (either click on the big plus button on the Documents tab in Start Page or choose New from File menu). For the following setup I used FreeCAD version 0.19 (please use this version or newer because CNC tools library is different on previous versions).
