The CNC machine that we have/want to buy is not listed in DeskProto: what to do ?
In DeskProto it is easy to add a machine: you can do so yourself in the Library of machines (Options menu). A second step needed is choosing/creating the postprocessor for the machine. If already available just select it, if not you can create one in the Library of Postprocessors. The easiest is just to copy an existing postprocessor that is almost right and then to edit it. Most machines accept G-code variations: in that case start with a copy of the postprocessor “ISO plain G-codes” and change that until it runs OK. Obviously in case you are new in CNC machining it will be unclear what to edit: so the easiest way is just to ask us for support: we are happy to create a machine definition and a postprocessor for you, without charging any cost.
