General Mach Discussion / How to add a 3d printer to cnc machine?

« on: March 15, 2018, 03:02:52 PM »

I'm trying to convert my 4x8 cnc machine to a 3d printer setup. My machine uses a Leadshine MX4660 driver(http://www.leadshine.com/UploadFile/Down/MX4660hm_V1.1.pdf) that is capable of controlling a 5th axis. I'll be using it with this hotend combo(https://www.filastruder.com/collections/titan-aero/products/e3d-titan-extruder-aero).

My issue is that I don't know what pins the hotend motor is being controlled with on the DB25 cable. How do I configure this so that Mach3 can see it? Thanks

Could use a plane wizard that would allow me to enter the size of my stock and the finished size I need, anything like that out there?

I just setup a machine and set my soft limits which work fine. I jog my machine over towards the middle of the table and load a simple gcode of a 2" circle just to see if it runs and I keep getting soft limits warning error. Please advise, thanks.
