I am new to posting on this forum, but I am starting to run out of ideas. I bought a CNC a few years ago, and they called it a concrete printer. My laptop crashed and I had to buy a new laptop, and buy the software for the cnc. Unfortunately, I cannot get in touch with the people who sold it to me, and I don't have any paper work as far as configurations for the mach 3. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get back going? Thanks in advance.

Thanks overloaded. I already tried that, as well as calling their number, emailing them, texting, and posting on their facebook page. So far, it may seem, they are no longer "in business". Not sure though.

Hi Stacy.
Open it up and see what motion controller is in there.
You might get lucky.
Worst case, you can change it out with one that is available.

Well it said it ran on Mach3 (;-) So it probably is just a matter of figuring out teh Ports and pins for everything. MORE than likey a simple LPT version.

Top of the line electronics
The control box uses the latest advancements in CNC technology. X,Y, and Z axis inputs are controlled from a robust independent motor drives and links to your laptop via a ethernet port. We also include an a newly designed motion controller for fast and smooth curved and complex cuts.

Perhaps Ancient Alien Technology ? ::)
