This is a quick and dirty thing to get solder fumes out of my face. Uses a 120mm computer case fan, a sheet of carbon filter material from Amazon, and held together in a sandwich by zip ties. (Filter is between the two parts with the “tie fighter” looking grid)

Here’s a modified post processor for Solidworks CAM (Camworks) that I use with the Fanuc 6 control on my machine.
What’s changed from the provided Fanuc post:
Included in this zip file is the .src file and library files for the universal post generator, as well as the compiled .ctl file used by solidworks.
If you use this, do have a close look at your output files and test carefully – there is always potential for disaster and I won’t be responsible for damage or injury.
