Hi all, I'm waiting on the extrusions as the last pieces of the puzzle for the Further Fabrication Y1200 build I'm doing at work. Shipping has likely doubled the cost of this build from what it started out as, but still looking forward to getting it up and running. I've upsized the laser to an EFR F6 so I'll need to get creative with the tube placement. Water chiller is a spare from work though we will also be building and adding a dewpoint sensor. Anyhow, fun times ahead!

Edit: heh, immediately after I posted this I got a phone call that the T-Slot arrived, so I guess it's time to start building!

Hey mate, not sure what you mean, the Ruida settings? I do need to do a firmware update to get the U axis working for the rotary attachment, though there's sketchy information on whether that is going to work right.

Yes, Rules settings....the values that are provided in the controller....if you alter those values it may not work out so a backup is prudent to be able return to the original design
