Hello,
I’m not a big fan of Luban. I prefer Cura. Although, I do use Luban to import my laser-designs from Inkscape to convert in the files that I can load in my Snapmaker.
I’m using F360 also for my designs. I used to work with SketchUp, because F360 has a lot steeper learning curve. But suddenly I started to take my time for it, and now I don’t want to use anything else. It’s a great tool, and much better in a lot of aspects as SketchUp (SketchUp gets messy sometimes if you try making complex designs).
So to summarize, these are my workflows:
- For 3D: Design in F360 → *.STL Export as 3D → Import in Cura → *.GCODE Export for Snapmaker
- For CNC: Design in F360 → Toolpaths in F360 → *.CNC Export for Snapmaker
- For Laser: Design in F360 (sketch with all items that needs to be lasered) → Save sketch as *.DXF → Import in Inkscape → Export as JPG → import in Luban → *.NC Export for Snapmaker
I haven’t used PCB design in F360. This would be another steep learning curve. In my designs in F360, I also have a sketch with the PCB and all its cutouts, and I export this as DXF. Then I can import this in EasyEDA on the BoardOutLine layer.
Best regards,
Hans
