I am interested in this too. I have a cobbled together 4x4 avid CNC setup files from avid CNC website.

ok, I think I figured it out. the Z axis has 1/2 as many steps as needed. not sure why the config files from CNC router parts were wrong. but I used the instructions on the warp 9 website to dial it...

here is a screenshot of the Z axis mach 3 motor config...

Hi All,

I am getting my machine setup. I have a 4x4 Saturn mid '17. I purchased the complete electronics system (NEMA 34) from CNCRouterParts (now AVID CNC). I used the config files from them...

ah, ok that middle screw hole makes sense. I was shimming with wood. that will be better....

When you say you filed it down, you mean the mount where the inside edge is, just inside where the...

in 17' I purchased a saturn 4x4 with a router mount from FLA. Due to unfortunate circumstances it went into storage for two years. I am finally setting it up. I went to install my router and noticed...

Thanks Nate. That helps.

To be clear, I would only put the water table on when plasma cutting and take it off for wood cutting. I haven’t cut much with a plasma cutter. Does it get into the gears and rails of the y axis?

Hey Fella's

I am very new to this. but I have a 4x4 Saturn from FLA. I am setting it up now with the plug and play electronics and I had a thought. would it be possible to mount a router/spindle...

perfect, thanks for the quick response!

alrighty Nate, got everything tapped as per the specs you sent (thank you by the way, very helpful). but I have a problem. on the x axis the blocks are perfectly positioned. However the sensors trip...

CRP got back to me. It was a breakout board that came loose during shipping. Reconnecting it made it work fine.

Yes I followed instructions. I can see the smoothstepper is up and running. In mach3 in the settings for the smoothstepper. I can see the checkboxes check and uncheck when I trigger the limit...

I have another newbie question. I finally got everything wired up and installed on the Saturn 1 setup. I was able to connect to the smoothstepper from the computer, I loaded the pre made...

Ok, that gives me something to work from. I will have everything up and running in a day or two, I can give it a try then. for now I cannot connect to the smoothstepper quite yet. I am sure when I...

Ok. That’s interesting. I was only going to put a sensor on one side of the gantry thinking it would be square. Perhaps I need to rethink that. I do have a smoothstepper that was included. I need to...

I'm using the plug and NUMA 34 electronics from CNC Router Parts . I am installing the motors and sensors now based nate provided in another post.

Ok, please forgive my ignorance. my machine isn't yet up and running. I can't "jog" it quite yet. I wanted to get the emergency stop sensors on there before I worked on the electronics. I ended up...

Folks,

While trying to drill and tap holes for my e-stop sensors. I discovered something out of sorts. my gantry is out of square by at least 1/4". when against the stop on side, there is a 1/4"...

Thank you Nate! this is perfect!

I don't really know where to start. I have 4 sensors, but I am trying to check both ends of 3 axis, that seems to take 6 sensors not 4. There are no holes on the rig except on the x axis, so I will...

Howdy all,

Nate got me the upgrades for the eStop sensors mounting plates but has not responded to my emails regarding the specs on where to put them. do any of you guys have the files that you...

Hi Nate,

I just purchased my machine on July 25th. Is there any way there is a grace period for the upgrades you mention especially the proximity switches and rack and pinion changes. After...

Hello all, buying a new CNC frame and interested in the electronics on how to drive it. I am sure I will need help. thank you in advance!
