I am interested in if anyone has installed 2 physical limit switches for the momus Z axis. If so, I am very curious to where are they physically placed! If you did not install two switches, that's...

Has anyone put a lower limit switch on their momus z-axis? I have a nice spot for the z-axis upper switch, the switch that limits how high the stepper motor can raise the router, but I am having a...

I have certainly broke my fair share of endmills on my schools Haas cnc... fun is not how I would describe that feeling when you see that end mill snap off on your workpiece more like terrifying :0

Small update. Before I installed the electronics I pulled...

Thanks for the solid advice JohnZ! I went with what you suggested, I had similar logic. I ordered the ESS too, its seems like a pretty solid solution to not having a parallel port on my computer. ...

So now that I have caught everyone up I am looking for some good stepper motors, drivers, and breakout board to buy. I am however on a pretty tight budget at the moment. My goal is to have enough...

Once I had the brackets milled out I went back to working on the case. I started preparing the case for paint with some Bondo to hid some of the larger flaws. I picked up a new to me...

Part I:

Hi,

I finally decided to post an in progress build log. I have been reading the posts on this site for a while and have really appreciated the positive reinforcement and inspiration...
