In Cura there's an 'engineering' print profile (only available for Ultimaker S5) that tunes parameters for best dimensional accuracy.   * Print slower (±30mm/s) for better accuracy.

 +## Edit imported SVG files
 +
 +  * import SVG curve
 +  * You can't edit this: only drag around sections of the curve. 
 +  * Make a new sketch and project the SVG curve into it. 
 +  * right click on the projected curve and select 'break link'
 +  * Now you can edit the curve directly
 +==== Import curve from CSV file ====
 +
 +{{:3d_modeling:csv_curve.png?200|}}
 +
 +Assuming the CSV file is for a 2D curve:
 +
 +For ex:
 +<code>
 +0.36,22.16
 +0.54,22.24
 +0.72,22.32
 +0.89,22.40
 +</code>
 +
 +  * Open CSV file in a text editor (with Regular Expressions functionality)
 +  * add a third column of placeholder numbers to the file ('',0'' for example) to make the data 3D. This is what Fusion expects.
 +    * Search & replace pattern in BBEdit: 
 +      * Search: ''(^.*$)''
 +      * Replace: ''\1,0''
 +
 +After a replace-all: 
 +
 +<code>
 +0.36,22.16,0
 +0.54,22.24,0
 +0.72,22.32,0
 +0.89,22.40,0
 +</code>
 +
 +  * In Fusion 360, go to ''Utilities > Add-Ins''
 +  * Under the ''Scripts'' tab, Run ''ImportSplineCSV'' & open the changed CSV file.
 +  * Fusion will now generate a 2D sketch with the curve
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Toolpaths ====
 +
 +== Tip Rest machining ==
 +When using ''3D Adaptive'' to go down to a horizontal surface, tick the ''flat area detection'' box. Otherwise smaller mills in consecutive operations might need to remove material from the whole surface.
 +
 +== Bore ==
 +The ''pitch'' parameter in the ''bore'' feature should be set depending on the width of the bore. For example: 
 +  * hole diameter: ''6,5mm'', pitch: ''0,18mm''
 +  * hole diameter: ''3,5mm'', pitch: ''0,08mm''
 +
 +Small diameter bores need to feed down slower since they will be milled way too fast. //Also check if ramp speed controls the feed here//
