Thanks!

Oh.. Yeah..... thanks, Heh there's a " no duh " moment:D. Meaning a second profile for Mach3 right?
Btw the manual is well written and clear. I refer to often, mostly on my iPad as a PDF in the...

has anyone used this? or know if it works with the SX3 as advertised?
for $99 it seems like a decent fix to the earlier long running thread i have seen here.

I could not get the motor shaft to reach the helical connector to the extended x ball screw using the full spacer. I may not be thinking about this right.

So I removed the thicker spacer and used...

Matt, Brian, JT, and all.

Sorry I haven't updated for quite some time. I appreciate your postings.

I've been documenting the build, adapting parts, scratching my head, etc. and finally... It's...

Never mind, I went back and looked at the images on cnc fusion's site and saw that there are the cap screws installed in the pictures of the parts. So.. Did you loosen the piece to get the cap...

Thanks Michael!!

Thanks cornbinder, john and steve. I just found your reply Steve. After reading Cornbinders reply I wound up ordering the 540ez last night from Soigeneris. Much neater and probably more reliable...

Thanks for your answer.

The reason I figured a 6.1k for the z is that it is a larger motor and if I am correctly reading the spec sheet from keling it has a current draw of 6.1 amps in parallel...

According to the g540 manual my resistors for the motors should be 6.1k for the nema 34 on the z axis and 3.5k for the nema 23 on the x&y. These are the resistors that connect pins 5 & 1 on the db9...

Thanks for the images. Good idea. I may ask him to send me the extra mounts when I order from cncfusion. Did you mill out the recess entirely or rough cut it and then finish it with the mill?
...

What happened when I tested out the g540 without the motors connected was just as you noticed, when I cut the ac it took about 30 or 40 seconds for the capacitors and the core to discharge.

But...

Yes as a matter of fact I do appreciate this thread! Re the resistors, according to the g540 manual it seems that you multiply the amps of the motor by 1000 to get the resistor value. I think that...

Looking forward to seeing them. I am getting ready to order so it would good to consider them as well. I assume that you mill the out the same that crevice specs?

You are correct the parallel port on the 540 should be connected to the parallel port on the computer.

I believe that the cable and plugs should be a straight through cable. I'll see if I can...

I figure someone will chime in who knows better. But it seems to me that I read on CR's state something about all the wires being matched to to the first four.

Just a sec...

It's on this page...

Still figuring that one out...:)

Hope you get well quickly

I am assuming that you are referring to the same motor for the z axis I have which is a nema 34 from the keling kit. KL34H295-43-8A.

The following link lists the pairings according to colors
...

Look at these diagrams farther down under 8 wire. It will show you the pairings but not the colors.

We have the same kit btw. I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Although I did...

Ok... G540 it is then. Thanks

The other steve

Not to hijack, but to keep things in one current thread, any opinions about #4 or 5 kits on the link below? As opposed to parting out from separate sources?

I will eventually move to a 4th axis.

Steve, thanks for starting a current version of this thread. I'm in a similar boat.
