Hi all.

 

Firstly, thanks to all those whose advice helped me all those years ago setting up my first CNC machine.

 

Two disasters impacted my early use- my laptop with a parallel port got stolen and the insurance wouldn't replace it with a similar item.

 

I solved this by building a desktop using a core board that included parallel. Unfortunately, a mouse plague meant that the innards of this got eaten and wrecked.

 

When researching a replacement, I found that for my needs at least it was cheaper and easier to use Open-Source, USB oriented software now.

 

I had dismantled my original CNC and rebuilt it with one using 3D printed parts. This one is bigger and more accurate.

 

Anyway, thanks again to the community and good times with your CNC-ing!

 

Cheers,

 

Neville
