Solidworks CAM Post Processor for Shapeoko 5 Pro using GRBL
I’m using Solidworks for Makers with Solidworks CAM to generate g-code and it works well now. There were issues finding a post-processor that works without having to modify the gcode manually. When I tried the free one from Hawk Ridge Systems, it kept generating a G2 P2 command that is known not to be supported by GRBL so I had to delete that line each time. I tried this one from msbealo on GitHub but it kept sending the machine to Z -2 (maybe for some tool change for their particular machine). I went ahead and used the UPG-2 from Camworks to generate my own post processor that seems to work well so far. I posted it on GitHub here in case someone else can make use of it.
