This is modified fork of https://github.com/guffy1234/mpcnc_posts_processor that was originally forked https://github.com/martindb/mpcnc_posts_processor.

CAM posts processor for use with Fusion 360 and [MPCNC](https://www.v1engineering.com).

CAM posts processor for use with Fusion 360 and [MPCNC](https://www.v1engineering.com/assembly/) with RAMPS or any 3-axis DIY CNC.
Supported firmwares:
- Marlin 2.0
- Repetier firmware 1.0.3 (not tested. gcode is same as for Marlin)
- GRBL 1.1
- RepRap firmware (Duet3d)

Installation:
- The post processor has three .cps files.
- Each .csp file is considered by F360 to be a seperate Post Processor.
- Currently each .cps file depends on DIYCNC_common.js.
- Can not use F360 Manage->Post Library menu to install the post processor
as the DIYCNC_common.js will not be installed.
- Instead copy the .cps file and DIYCNC_common.js
to the F360 install director or use the ... to select to the post processor's directory when
running the post processor.

Some design points:
- Setup operation types: Milling, Water/Laser/Plasma
- Support mm and Inches units (**but all properties MUST be set in MM**)
- Rapids movements use seperate G0 moves, first to move in Z and then to move inXY. Moves use independent travel speeds for XY and Z.
- Rapids movements use seperate G0 moves, first to move in Z and then to move in XY. Moves use independent travel speeds for XY and Z.
- Arcs support on XY plane (Marlin/Repetier/RepRap) or all panes (Grbl)
- Tested with LCD display and SD card (built in tool change require printing from SD and LCD to restart)
- Support for 3 different laser power using "cutting modes" (through, etch, vaporize)
