Have you selected the MaxNC Mode in the Mach Config / Port setup ?

It's only a baby Dan, weighing in at 25 Watts.

I am still awaiting the delivery of the power supply, so I can try it out, but this baby could spell the makings of a whole new machine.

Thanks for the links Martin.

As we have seen there are so many different ways / methods of 3D printing it would be really nice if we could get together a group with each working on a different method. Not as a competition but more of a combined technology sharing exercise and of course all driven by Mach as the common factor.

I think you have just wasted some electrons Bob.

Hi Mike,

Very nice gesture.

Don't suppose you could buy some beers ?

There have recently been a number of ebay listed pirated copies which I have reported and they have eventually been withdrawn but I suspect there are lots of copies in circulation which are "Licensed To: PAPA FABIO".

Excellent. I could watch that working all day long. 

(I think we would need to have a lot of guards around a machine like that under our health and safety legislation).

I think that by using circular interpolation you will only cut a circle with 40 sides but the edge finish will be good. If you are getting a poor edge finish then it is something else which is machine related and probably, as Rich has said, mechanical.

These two discs have been shown before but the one on the left has been cut with straight but wobbly lines (bad finish) whereas the one on the right has been cut with 40 straight lines, using circular interpolation (good finish).
