    I've seen several post with folks running Sheetcam. Is anyone doing it with the black box controller? I'm attempting to do so but, the only grbl post processors I've found don't work very well and need to be modified. Unfortunately, such modifications are above my pay grade at the moment. Im hoping one of you has already worked it out and would be generous enough to share. Alturnatively, suggestions for a cam program that would allow me to probe with floating Z for surface between cuts, and run grbl would also be appreciated.

    I am trying to use Open Build post processor with sheet cam (but I am normally using it with fusion 360). That is how I found this post.
    This code might help with your Z:

    G54 X0 Y0 Z10

    (slow probe)
    G38.2 Z-100 F150

    (allows 2mm for coming off touch for zero)
    G10 L20 Z-2

    (plunge height)
    G0 Z3.2

    (turn on torch)
    M3 S1000

    (pause .6 sec)
    G4 P0.6

    (cutting height and feed)
    G1 Z1.6 F1300
