So in 2016 I build my first MPCNC, upgraded it to the 2nd version… burley? I do not remember. However at that time I had no space for this machine. It lived in my attic under a sloped roof. I put on a 5 watt laser en used it for laser engraving a lot. However the Kress router I got for it saw little to no action.
No I have moved house, I have a workshop available for messing around with woodworking. Which I’m not very good at, but I do enjoy. So last year I started building the V3. I build a table using left over aluminium extrusions I had. Connected it to the wall so it can be folded back behind my workbench.
Then I set out to build the V3, but I never got it to operate stable. It would behave irratic, sometimes trying to run through Z stops. Sometimes homing would not work until I rebooted the controller etc. So I parked the project until a month ago, I wanted to pick it up again and saw that the V4 was released.
So I treaded myself to a Jackpot controller, some new motors and endstops, this to ensure I start fresh with all electrica components not to run into the same issues again. Now I have started the V4 build and I’m a long way in.
The Jackpot I ordered is setup for the MPCNC, so I need to dig and read what I need to do to get it to the Lowrider config. But hey we will get there.
). That’s really great customer service.
