Thankyou!
My design is proving to be very reliable. I have been cutting different parts out, some small, some larger (9"x9") and some pretty intricate. I think the only thing I'd change is the dremel and maybe some more powerful steppers.
I also ordered a parallel card for my older toshiba laptop, I'm going to try using that to run Mach (it was cheap, and I know it might not work). The computer I have running it now is power challenged and that doesn't play well with Mach.
All in all, I think I was pretty successful in my project.
I plan to take the machine apart and paint the frame and I will document the the rebuild for this thread.
Stay tuned!
