Where do I buy it?

Trying to figure out how to make it a bundle. I wasnāt originally going to include a wire but the āindividualā wires I have can be broken down pretty quick and make things real easy. Just have to see how many 2/3 prong sockets I have.
A little smaller than I was expecting but the flex is pretty perfect, it can be bent or just firmly pushed flat. Feels good honestly.

Is this is off topic or inappropriate placement then I will apologize in advance. Is there any value in having 3 sides of a cube you could put on the corner of your workpiece then get x, y, and Z automatically?
I am still clueless how to tell the firmware to interpret this or the macros to run it.
I will sit here patiently until an expert comes along to help.
You can, but knowing the exact edge of your work isnāt enough. It also needs to be square to your machine. Usually, we have more than enough slop by cutting inside the edges of an oversized piece. The edges arenāt critical. The top edge, however, can be, if youāre doing tool changes or v-bit carvings.
Option 1) Is to just jog the machine to about the right place, then send G92 X0 Y0.
Option 2) If youre trying to cut into a finished workpiece, then you can make the origin the center, and then center the bit before the G92
Option 3) If you have a dimensioned, square workpiece that you want to reference the edge exactly, then put a piece of scrap on the table and mill an edge on the X and an edge on the Y side. Then your workpiece will fit in there and be referenced and square to the gantry. You can also do this with less work by cutting holes for dowels instead of the whole side.
I carved a very shallow groove around the actual cut area in the plywood the MpCNC is screwed down to. I used this to mount stops along the x and Y.
My option 3)
I secure one corner of my finished piece. I bring the bit down so that itās touching the side of the work piece right next to the corner where I secured it with the side of the bit. I then jog 100mm in the X direction along the edge. I rotate the piece until the side is touching the bit again, then I secure the rest of the work piece. Jog 100mm back in the other direction and the non-spinning bit should glide right along the finished edge.

Just to be clearā¦ I bought it for 2 reasons.
- give you a little support and have something cool with the logo on it
- I have Zero homing/auto-sensing anything on my MPCNC. I figured auto-sensing Z height is a good place to start. I expect I have lots of issues when I first start implementing thisā¦ new Forum post to come
