Watch me assemble a portal milling machine's control hardware.
I made some comments in the subtitles, so make sure you have them activated via settings->cc(Subtitles). This is the second control box that I assemble. It took less than half the time versus building its bigger brother "Midi control". Background info on my blog: https://blog.schallbert.de/cnc-electronics/
Pros:
- Quick assembly
- No soldering
- Many snap-in parts
- Small enclosure
Cons:
- Connects to the machine per screw terminals; separation from machine is not designated
- Loud fan, active also in idle (but can be solved with Schallbert's Fanhack)
- Multiple external power supplies (Stepper supply, 24V supply, Spindle switchbox)
