That’s one way to do a load test 
Looks awesome! After seeing your build I can’t wait to see what you build with it!

Clearly still some work to do - gotta get the superstrut cut and installed, as well as the spoilboard. Then I can start tweaking and tuning; I need to look at my floating dust shoe setup, as it wasn’t behaving properly for me, and I want to do some accuracy tests before I cut anything else. Progress is slow in part because it’s so dang cold after work and the workshop is not heated or insulated right now…
After all that gets done, I already have a project in mind, so I’ll slap a sheet of foamular down for some test cuts!

Perhaps remember @steved 's implementation of a “drop table” for CNC cutting on vertically mounted items. He used a couple of vice screws and some extra ribs glued together, and by leaving his metal struts longer than the minimum, he has ability to clamp things to the front of his table for cutting. I really wish I had arranged that, but I did not.
Superstruts are mounted and all the rail block holes have been drilled and tapped. That was all the pup and I could take of the cold, so mounting the rail will have to wait until tomorrow.
Then I need to wrap up the gantry. There are a few more electronics tasks to finish, and I want to convert the non-rail side to @DougJoseph’s hidden belt configuration.

This is the reference to displays in the fluidnc docs:

I was clicking around those docs, saw this, and had to at least try it out. My use case: the Jackpot is on my home network, it’s helpful to confirm its local IP in order to connect. Really easy to implement, assuming you have a couple gpio pins available.
I am probably mount it on the Core once I have a case for it.

i just so happen to have a few of those screens. And yes just to be able to verify IP and see position its very nice. I have mine set up static IP but every once in a while i have a brain fart and forget LOL
So what’s the thought process for this? Is it to have a screen for positioning when starting a job, fun analytical thing while cutting? (ip status I get), no hate just curious what the intended purpose is
Nerding out and adding complexity, mostly. (I know, Ryan, sorry.)
I’m also hoping that a quick glance at the status on the screen when doing tool changes will remind me to probe, since I’m a bonehead and forget sometimes (despite a change in LED colors and patterns 
) which leads to failed cuts.

Love it, I’d be curious about mounting it to 0,0 on the table just to watch it change as it moves around. But that again add more complexity to it

Build it into your CAM, manual probing is always going to lead to issues.

I do, but sometimes I forget to attach the probe before hitting resume…
Will it run pornhu Doom?
Everything runs doom.
