Complete V-Carving Walkthrough Start to Finish [Part 1] - Modeling, CAM Setup, Toolpaths Fusion 360

In this video series I walk you through the basics of V Carving from file creation to completed carve! As a practical example we will be creating a tray for your safety glasses.
If you prefer to skip over the modeling portion of the tutorial you can buy the .DXF file here: practicalalchemy.gumroad.com/...
This series is broken into 2 parts:
Part 1 focuses on artwork creation, CAM setup, and toolpath creation in Fusion 360
Part 2 focuses on workpiece preparation and CNC setup.

This is great. The female side is supper easy in Fusion. Now show the process for building the tool paths for the male side. That would be amazing

I use the hobbiest version of Fusion 360 for CNC routing on a regular basis. It isn't true that you have to export every toolpath separately. You can export as many toolpaths at a time as you want, but only if there are no tool changes. You can even export toolpaths across multiple setups if you don't have any tool changes. If you order your toolpaths so as to minimize tool changes, that will save you considerable time and hassle in posting and managing the gcode files. At the same time it will save time at the router - especially if you need to do manual tool changes.

Thanks Michael, yeah I call that out via text pop ups. I misspoke here but left it in because I still wanted to show how I export multiple paths and I use it as an example in the next video on why you need to pay attention to your machine because mistakes can happen.
