The only stumbling block was that there was no post-processor for the CNC Shark, so I wrote one. AutoDesk licenses it free (as in actually FREE) for hobbyists and business making under $100K/year so it's very attractive for a hobbyist like me. I especially like the built-in 3D CAM capability so I can go straight from my 3D model to generating toolpaths in the same application. The learning curve is a lot steeper than something like VCarve but it can do much more and there are lots of tutorials out there (check out NYC CNC on YouTube).



I recently started using AutoDesk Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and so far I'm really liking it.
