    Saturn 4 X 4 with Nema 34 closed loop hybrids and ESS smooth stepper

    Hello all,
    My name is Craig. I live on an Island in the Pacific Northwest.
    I will be 70 this summer and starting on a new venture to build up a CNC.
    This will combine a number of disciplines I have acquired over the years into something
    that will actually make stuff.
    This post is a test to see if I know how to post.
    Thanks to David, Nathan, Art and Jay for helping me get started.
    Below are two photos showing the machine ready for shipment and some of the Stuff I have gathered for the build.
    Till later,
    Craig

    Looks like you got everything you need. Can't wait to see what you make with the machine.

    Well hello,
    I am on San Juan Island. I just finished pressure washing a borrowed trailer. If all goes as plan, I will be picking up
    my 4 x 4 in Everett this Thursday. We are not too far apart. I have a partnership in an airplane at Friday Harbor Airport. Someday I
    could fly to Arlington and we could meet to compare notes.

    Well I spent most of a year adding on to my house and building a walk in closet for my wife with oak cabinets I made. I am just getting started with the build.
    Attached are a few photos and video. Learning the software will be more challenging than the build.https://youtu.be/ngTX6Bf3Xq8

    Looking forward to the rest of your build. I have a Saturn 4x4 as well. Looks like your enclosure is going to be full.

    Spent a couple of days preparing and mounting the control box(s) for the Saturn 4x4. The main enclosure was not large enough to hold all of the equipment, so the power supply was put in its own box.
    Here is a video explaining the approach.

    Here I was waiting for parts so I shifted to mounting the laser that I bought and was sitting in a box.
