Dear @vicious1, I feel a bit insulted by the ease of the Jackpot’s setup. It took me a whole 10 minutes to slot the drivers, add the heatsinks, cut my power cord’s cable, crimp the ends, connect them with the readily crimped cables I bought from you, plug in the drivers and connect my mobile to the hotspot it opens. Then all the motors moved. I did not connect the endstops yet, because I didn’t have too much time and could not crimp the wires for the endstops, so homing does not work, but still, what are you thinking?
How can you call this a CNC experience? If it does not take at least four days of crimping, three days of cursing and another five days of looking for the bad crimp or connection, where’s the fun? Do you expect the user to just use your machines? A blatant disregard for the handyman that wants to be taken seriously. What’s next? Are you going to come over and assemble the machine for the users as well? Or at least provide top-notch support if something is not working? Maybe automate your business so you can make even more money? There are dark times ahead…
Okay, sorry. I just felt I had to make some fun about myself and the effort it took to get the Primo running the first time. I am glad I did what I did, I learned quite a lot using external drivers and having the possibility to run more A, but you can be sure as hell that, if we ever create our workshop in the basement of my school, I am going to buy everything ready-made. For a student, the setup of the Jackpot might still be a challenge, but mainly it gives me a more or less hassle-free time.
Here’s the Jackpot, sitting in the rat’s nest of already crimped cables. A dream come true. <3
