The post processor on this page seems to export a .nc file rather than a .gcode file. The Workbee control software doesn't seemt to like using the .nc format. Is there a solution to this? (it's entirely possible than there is something wrong with my gcode)

Hi Josh!
Can you please confirm what post processor are you referring to? That will help us guide you more specifically and ensure compatibility with your WorkBee set up.
I look forward to your reply.

Do the downloads include post processor options for Rhino3D?

I got it working eventually. I needed a custom post processor modified from existing Madcam postprocessors. It was quite simple, the machine settings needed replacing, and G0 commands were added to the start of the approach variables.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the question.
We do not include post processors for Rhino3D.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
