241 reads, I know some of you have this machine or something close to it.....how irritating is it when you consider yourself knowledgeable, able to work through most issues and then find yourself scratching your head not knowing which way to turn.  Who else has this machine?  what are your experiences and perhaps post your XML file on this forum to better the use of our tools...Come on man!

Opened up the box and looked at the stepper drivers and there is a red light on the Z board, the x and y have a green light lite.  Any ideas except that red means stop.....

Can you post some pictures of the box and wiring and drives? Just make sure they are named something original and not too big or the forum will not accept them.

OK the board is smoked.  a puff and its done.  I need an alternative to this Chinese crap.  stepper driver T65-3A.  I will take a guess at the nomenclature - the 3A prob means 3 amp.  Who has had a good experience with one brand or another.


Thanks

GECKO 540

I own two. When my 3020 box dies I will own a third.

You will need a power supply and spindle drive board.

You can keep the motors and cables.

I would update the motors and cables. A little easier if you can wire.
