Hi all!
My name is Chris, I live in Northern Utah, USA.
I had been a carpenter doing cabinetry and trade show exhibits for around 16 years when I put myself through an associates program for design.
Mostly CAD stuff. I then was shown the path to mechanical design and began a new career path. I am currently a Mechanical Engineering Technician. I design, machine and manufacture equipment, fixtures and process. I began learning more CNC operation and programming at my current job along with PLC and robotics programming. I decided to buy a cheep Chinese 3018 laser machine and started my new hobby. I really hated using GRBL, and decided to build my own controller and chose MAach as the running platform.
I am currently working on building up a 6040 router I purchased for tinkering mostly. I have learned alot from the forums, and the vast world of CNC hobbiests.
From building my own controller, to LUA, and all the other extras included when personalizing a machine.
You'll hear from me time to time, as I am not seasoned and am just beginning to get into this.
I really appreciate all of the fine people on this and other forums that speak up and help the beginners like myself.
Thank you all.
