Real-world FreeCAD Users?

I looked around the forum, and I may have missed this somewhere... but here goes anyway.

I'm in the market for a new CNC machine, and I'm currently looking at the OneFinity Elite Forman, which uses the MASSO controller. I have quite a substantial setup in FreeCAD and its GRBL post-processor, including custom g-code post-processing software that I've created for part layout and such.

Does anyone here have real-world experience generating g-code for the MASSO controller from the FreeCAD Path Workbench? Before I drop a bunch of money on a new CNC machine, I'd really like to be sure that my software pipeline will work well.

I get that it theoretically should work just fine... I would love to hear from anyone who actually does this in the real world?

Thank you in advance,
Michael

I have the Onefinity Elite Foreman now, so it has the G3 Touch. From other locations on these Forums I was suggested to use the Fanuc post processor as a starting point, so I now have a pre alpha version of a Masso post processor for the Masso.

I am running the GCode through the Camotics GCode simulator and it seems to be working so far. My release if FreeCad is a weekly prerelease build :
```
OS: Windows 11 build 22635
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.22.0dev.35370 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: main
