Mpcnc

I am still looking for a Control case, the one I found and 3D Printed is in fact a horrible 3D Printing Control case, it is so thin you can virtually see thew it.
And I do do want to waste my time with such a horribly Thin Control case, in fact do not believe it would survive very long and not protect the controller.

I have found some Anwenk 1/4"-20 x 15mm Furniture Screw in Nut Threaded Wood Inserts and have install an placed 32 of the them in the CNC main Deck.








Now I can fasten anything with a simple clamp that is 3D Printed or CNC milled using many type of material. First I still want to Find a Controller Case.

One NOTE: Because I decided to make my MPCNC so tall, the power cable on the Dewalt must be carefully positioned or it will cause the Z-Axis too bind on the X or Y max borders.
I decided, I need to get My MPCNC running. So for a quick fix I am going to quickly 3D Print this.
There is a few modification that I believe should be made while the good parts print, I can modify the pieces that want changes on.

Changed the Front Panel to say "My MPCNC" stl Attached.


Printing a temporary Controller case will then be doing the finishing touches.

Will start with learning how to Use Auto Cad Fusion 360 to setup tool paths for MPCNC.
Knew I had more learning to Do with Fusion 360 Free for hobbyist. Time to get back to YouTube and start learning fast.

looking good :-)
The tool path thing is interesting.
Is there an equivalent to a slicer for cnc ?

[Roberts_Clif]

Oh Yes!

There are many free and paid alike, maybe even more than for 3D Printers.

Hello again;;

I discovered today that the longer Stepper motor cables I purchased from California.
Are in fact being shipped from mainland china, so it will be quite some time before I see the parts if ever.

How is it that E-Bay continues allow this to happen, as many times as we have all complained this should have stop.

May have to buy spares from somewhere else to be able to finish the MPCNC build.

well you could do what I do and just make your own.
I use these to make cables of different lengths.

I will soon be buying machines, the laser does not always work well according to different reviews. What about them? I think they are more reliable, but I can't say for sure because I don't have enough experience with them.
