Thanks for your answer! I do have an MPCNC and also a Prusa MK3S printer, both from a few years ago. Was looking at the MK4 upgrade if I can justify the expense and a key part of it is the 32bit processor which in part allows it to operate much faster using the same hardware (faster prints, turns etc). So was wondering if this would provide similar value.
I use EstlCAM (just upgraded to 12) and starting to use LibreCAD but still learning that. So many things to learn
I think I can handle the Wi-Fi parts, that little screen was hard to navigate and manage so a nice iPad or something should be nice.
It’s not a massive investment, I will get one and hopefully see some advantages.
When you do that, the community will help you along as you go.
I think you’ll be happy in the end.
Similar in many ways. The faster and more capable processor coupled with extra capabilities will be a good improvement.
There are considerations- we would need to make sure the wireless environment works for you as it does for most folks, but this can be tricky as a very few users have challenges with wireless stuff. We would also want to be sure all the wiring is good as sometimes disturbing an existing setup may cause intermittent connections in extension cables or otherwise need a bit of troubleshooting.
After all that, It should be like what MK3S to MK4 upgrade yields. A nice improvement, a goof machine made better.
