    Re: Help building new machine

    What are you planning to do with this machine? Build a 3D printer? Putting a router on it won't turn it into a CNC routing machine that will cut anything but light foam. That tall wobbly structure isn't rigid enough for cutting wood, and those motors aren't going to be strong or fast enough, especially running on 12v.

    Hi

    Regarding the frame, i'm already changing to this:

    Also, i just ordered a new 24v power supply.

    But my main problem now is setting up this board.

    I have already file a complain with the supplier, because i hasn't send me any information that only resulted on a refound.

    Is it viable to use this board, or should i just get a new one?
