    Wink why so expensive?

    Explain where such wild prices come from?

    How can such crap with 3 connectors cost 22 euros? https://planet-cnc.com/product/adapt...10-pin-header/

    Is someone buying this?
    I can give free advice, if you make a lower price, then they will buy more.

    Can you find something similar on Ebay?
    Doesn't look too fancy.

    Personally I don’t mind paying a little extra to support the efforts of PlanetCNC.

    Re: why so expensive?

    Thank you SkiPatrol. I appreciate this.

    I agree that they are pricey. Those items were never intended as commercial products for sale. We made them because we needed them in our testing process. But lots of people asked us for help with ribbon cables and we decided to help them. Each adapter is handmade by me or my colleague usually just before packaging. I see this not as commercial item but as service to fellow CNCer who has troubles connecting ribbon cables.

    It would be nice if you made it a commercial product with an adequate price.

    Actually, 99% of mach3 interface board fits your board. In it, you just need to swap P1-P14.

    It can be seen that you wanted to make the same pinout as in mach 3, but for some reason you changed the places of these 2 signals. I wonder why?

    If you are referring to DB25 pinout it is far from standardized. Our pinout is compatible with at the time very popular gecko driver.

    We are making sophisticated hardware and software. We have no interest making "crap with 3 connectors" and selling it for virtually nothing. You can do it and if they are good we can be your reseller.
