GCode Samples for Carbide Motion

Software Carbide Motion
1

We’re working on some big changes to Carbide Motion and we’d like to collect a bunch of gcode files for testing from as wide a source as possible.

If you can share a file, please post some gcode here and let us know:

  • What CAM program generated it.
  • What post processor was used within that CAM program.

We’d like as many different toolpath types as possible so be creative if you can. If the file is huge then a Dropbox/Onedrive link works great as well.

NOTE: I’ll probably download the files and remove the posts as I do so we can keep track of everything on our end.

Here is a piece of the gcode from my salt and pepper shakers from a contest a while back. It is from Fusion 360 using the Carbide 3D post version 43618 from the HSM posts library online. It uses the 3D Adaptive, 3D Contour, 2D Contour, Face, Horizontal and Bore tool paths.

Do you want C2D files for those generated by CC?

Nope, just the gcode.

I have more like this, but they’re really all variations on a theme.

Files from FEngrave, generic GCode:
#1Welsh.nc (61.5 KB)
AmChamp.nc (118.3 KB)

Files are a combination of FEngrave output plus some ‘stitching’ to combine then together - FEngrave only does one depth, so multiple outputs are needed to do multiple passes.
