I had a tech question about 6 months this ago that took a week to get back with me on but they did respond.


If you don't want to go for a spindle the super PID is worth waiting on.

Howdy again! its been a while and Ive got a new obstacle Im trying to overcome. Im trying to add a rotary axis to my DIY machine, Let me give yall the rundown of what I have and what I am thinking...

Are there any updates to this problem? I bought my G540 about 3 years ago (REV 8) and just today got it plugged in testing. I have the EXACT same chirping issue and white noise. I have tried all of...

Please clear your PM box. I want to buy the machine if it is still for sale.

Awesome info guys! I am looking to ditch my router and super PID before they have even been used, lol.

I know there is a massive thread around here somewhere about these. Can someone point me to it? Better yet I know that these have been around for a while and there seems to be more than a few...

Thats what I thought I remembered from the last time I had a machine but wasn't sure. So once the ground is broken for the e-stop that inputs to the G540 it will immediately stop the current job even...

I am planning on wiring in 2 emergency stop switches on my build. One near my computer work area and the other right next to the machine. I wound up buying 2 different kinds of E-stop without knowing...

5k is a steal for that piece. I wish you were selling this 4 months ago

A machine that is 4m long I believe is going to be seriously pushing the range for any screw type setup. I believe the majority of people that have machines approaching 5' and longer are using rack.

I am in the middle of a build and I am having trouble with the extrusions..... I have ordered 10 and 15 series T-slot aluminum extrusions from a place called automation4less several times over the...

Do yourself a HUGE favor and pull the auction right now! You WILL ABSOLUTELY REGRET this decision. Trust me.... I am in the same boat. I sold mine in 11' and have been thinking about it ever since...

Another quick question. I have purchased a super PID second hand from another member here. On the superpid site it has drop down boxes to select the router brand and model. I was wondering does it...

Good improvements. When I first started to get into this I bought the same type of simple supported rails. Before they were even used I realized the same thing that you did. They are junk unless used...

Skip the mdf

Does not look good, if you have the ability to manufacture easily just keep looking around and take features from designs that you like and compile it into your own type of hybrid design. I am near...

Ok, I just bought this... Question, will it help anything to plug it into a USB 3.0 outlet with a cable capable of handling the extra speed?

Ahh, is the uc100 considered a "motion controller"

Before I plunk down on this is there ANY advantage to buying this over just getting a pci to db25 card? The card is WAY cheaper...... If there is an advantage I would gladly pay for it but if it just...

Ok, I think I have it figured out, Now what color is the best? lol

If I get the mach 3 optimization I can manually switch it for manual control from what I understand right?

So, I am really close to picking one of these up and I have a quick question... What have you all found more convenient, having it optimized for manual or mach 3 control?

Ahh! Good catch

That looks nice, is that just as good of a solution as anything else?

Why is that thing over $100????

Yes mach 3, what's the best route?

I just noticed that my computer that I will use for my setup does not have a serial port that matches the gecko G540. I did find a serial to USB cable though. Is anyone using one of these ?

That worked for sure. I had to play with it for a minute but it worked. I would love some nicer software I just cant afford it.

I didn't see it, I'll check later and report back

This is what i was thinking, didnt know if there was an easier way to do it though... Im guessing your suggestion IS the easiest way. This should be a clickable option in the texture menu.
