- Free G Code File Download For Autodesk Ember 2016
This page contains a list of websites with files that are useful to the CNC Machine hobbyist. These sites contain free G-code, DXF, STL, and CamBam files, along with others. There are quite a few projects here, and you are bound to find something interesting.
Slicer for Autodesk® Fusion 360™ is a tool to turn your digital 3D models into appealing artefacts. It slices and converts 3D models into 2D patterns that you can cut out of any flat material. Slicer for Fusion 360 also creates 3D instructions you can interact with, to help build a model. Autodesk Releases Mechanical Files for Ember 3D Printer. The head of Ember’s birthplace at Autodesk’s hardware group, writes that, as fun as it might be to make your own Ember, the real.
This page will be updated periodically as I find more sites, so check back from time to time for more. The newest additions go at the top of the list.
Also, check out Free G-code, CamBam, dxf, and stl files where I have my own CNC files.
List of Sites
There are a few interesting G-code files at Glen’s Machine Shop that you may find useful. The stepper motor driver board G-code file looks particularly interesting.
Here is a site with several high quality free DXF files available for download. They will even give you one free custom design based off of an image or photo. Very cool!
Here is a Polish forum with several interesting designs that can be cut out with a CNC. A lot of them have pictures to go along with the files, so, if you’re like me and can’t read Polish, you can still figure out what they are.
Here is a link to a site that has several free plans that you might like to cut out with you CNC. These plans are technically designed to be cut out with a laser cutter, but you can still use them on a CNC. You can actually pay the people at the ponoko site to cut out the plans for you if you want. You can even have them cut out plans that you designed yourself.
The free plans that I have looked at on this site were all either in .eps or .svg. You can convert the .svg files to .dxf files by opening them in Inkscape (which is free to download and use) and then saving the .svg as a .dxf. The .eps files I’m not sure about. You will have to search the net to find out what to do with those.
Also, you have to register to download the plans, but doing so is free and painless.
Here is one particular thread at cnczone.com where you should be able to find one or two files for CNC. : )
This link goes to a thread at cnczone.com. On that thread there are several dxf files of dinosaurs along with quite a few other creatures. You have to search through the thread to find them all, but there is definitely a lot there. If you find something you like, you can load it into CamBam and use it to generate the toolpaths and then the G-code.
Here is another site which has DXF files of several different creatures. Many of those in the cnczone link above originally came from here I believe. The site was originally in German (at least I think it’s German) but the link to it connects to the Google translated version. It didn’t quite get all the words translated, but that doesn’t really matter.

This website has a handful of G-code files that you may be interested in. Most of them have to do with model airplanes, but not all of them.
This website has a large number of amazing looking dxf files that are designed to be cut out with CNC machines. It’s a pretty awesome site with pictures for every design. If you find something you like, you can load it into CamBam and use it to generate the toolpaths and then the G-code.
This website has several different dxf files which can be downloaded for free. They aren’t technically designed for CNC use, but you may find some of them useful for that purpose. If you find something you like, you can load it into CamBam and use it to generate the toolpaths and then the G-code.
This site has an assortment of STL files for CNC machine use. (Go to the download section.) You will need to either use CamBam Plus (the version you have to pay for) or MeshCam (also not free) to generate tool paths for the 3D STL files. There is other software out there that you can use as well, but those two are by far the cheapest. You have to register for a password first to download the STL files, but if you see something you like you should definitely do so.
This site has several projects which you may find interesting. Some are kind of advanced, but that’s what makes it cool. All in all, it’s a pretty awesome site.
This page has several DXF files which you may find useful. There is a lot of interesting stuff on this site. Much of it is good for cabinetry or furniture making. If you find something you like, you can load it into CamBam and use it to generate the toolpaths and then the G-code. The link to the home page is http://www.enkeboll.com
This site here has several dxf files which might be useful if you want to build a guitar with your CNC.
Ember 3D Printer Firmware
Version 3.2
Copyright © 2016 Autodesk, Inc. All rights reserved.
###Repository OverviewThe Autodesk Ember 3D printer uses the firmware here to control its operation and communicate with applications. The components in the C++ and ruby folders run on the main (Sitara) processor under Linux and the others run on two satelite AVRs that control the motors and front panel.
Folder | Contents |
---|---|
/docs | Documentation of the firmware architecture and the APIs it exposes to web and local network clients. |
/C++ | Component (smith), that drives the printing process and responds to user input. Includes NetBeans project for rebuilding. |
/ruby | Components (smith-server and smith-client) that communicate with web and local network applications. Also includes functionality for configuring network connectivity. |
/AVR/MotorController | AVR firmware for controlling the motors that move the build head and resin tray, based on commands from smith. |
/AVR/FrontPanel | AVR firmware for controlling the OLED display and LED ring in the front panel. |
/AVR/twiboot | Bootloader that loads AVR firmware via I2C. |
/Utilities | Utility for sending commands to motor controller and for controlling AVR bootloader. |
/deploy | Scripts for packaging and deploying the firmware and building development systems. |
/infrastructure | Components to assist with automated builds. |
###Contributing to Ember FirmwareWe welcome contributions to the Ember firmware. You can do so through GitHub by forking the repository and sending a pull request.
Active development should occur on a feature branch. Changes will be merged into the master branch by our project committers ahead of release.
When submitting code, please make every effort to follow existing conventions and style in order to keep the code as readable as possible. Our project has adopted the style guidelines for C++ code given in the /docs folder.
When submitting a pull request, please ensure you include enough information so the reviewer can understand the changes being made and the motivations.
For comments, feature requests, or questions, please create a GitHub issue.
###Development ImageAn image of the MicroSD card we use for development can be downloaded from here. The development image always has latest released version of the firmware (as indicated in the
README
in the master
branch). To use the development image:- Flash it to a MicroSD card (2GB minimum) using either Win32DiskImager,
dd
, Apple Pi Baker(Mac), or similar. The image must written directly to MicroSD card using the above methods; copying the image to an existing partition will not work. - Insert the MicroSD card into an Ember or BeagleBone Black, plug in power, and connect it to your computer via USB.
- Connect to the device using SSH ([email protected])
- Run the following commands:
By default, the firmware applications (the Ember 3D printing engine and its link to emberprinter.com) will NOT start when the printer boots. You can start them manually as background processes, set them to start automatically when the printer boots, or start them manually as foreground processes.
To start them manually as background processes, run the following commands:
To set them to start automatically when the printer boots, as is the case with production firmware releases, run the same commands but substitute
enable
in place of start
(note that this doesn't take effect until you reboot):To start them manually in the foreground, which enables you to enter commands directly without calling
echo [command] > /tmp/CommandPipe
), run the following commands in separate windows:If you just want to see their output without enter commands, you can just run
tail -f /var/log/syslog
instead.The development image provides the same functionality as the release firmware with the following exceptions:
- The file system is writable. This allows customization through rebuilding the firmware, custom scripts, network configuration, etc.
- The development image firmware cannot be upgraded via the Upgrade Firmware functionality provided by the printer's local web interface or emberprinter.com. The easiest way to upgrade the firmware on a development image is to re-download the development image, which is always updated with the latest firmware.
###Building SmithSmith is Ember's 3D printing engine, which runs within the larger firmware system. If your goal in modifying Ember's firmware is to change how Ember prints (or even to use its projector, motors, and sensors to do something else entirely), you only need to build smith, not the entire firmware system. Building smith is an order of magnitude faster, and does not require internet access. The only caveat is that you'll always need to be running off a development image on a MicroSD card, whereas rebuilding the entire firmware system and installing it allows you to boot without a MicroSD card, which also means that it can be easily installed on multiple printers.
We use CMake as the build system for the smith. To build smith, first copy the entire
C++
directory to an Ember or BeagleBone Black booted from a development MicroSD card. Then execute the following commands:Once it finishes, type:
to start the Ember 3D printing engine.
We also have a NetBeans project in the source tree, which is a better choice for continuous development. To use it, add your Ember or BeagleBone black as a remote build host in NetBeans and attempt, through NetBeans, to build the project on the remote host. When building for the first time, NetBeans will complain that the
build
directory does not exist. Copy the full path listed in the NetBeans error message, SSH into the build host, create the build directory using mkdir
and the full path to the build directory copied from NetBeans. cd
to the newly created build directory and run the CMake command listed above. Then trigger a build through NetBeans.Free G Code File Download For Autodesk Ember Download
