It is a shame that you have to put up with the hassle considering $265 price tag. I was about ready to order the MX3660, but now will consider another option.

I would still buy a new one if I had to.

I'm not 100% sure what caused the PSU to blow. The more I think of it, It might have been because I was using a lower amperage PSU (7.5 I think) and I had the MX3660 set at the highest amperage setting for each driver. so the act of powering up the drivers\motors might have done it.

I'm inclined to think it was because you ignored several warnings in your other thread about mounting the mx3660 on top of your psu restricting airflow and now both are kaput, coincidence?

At the risk of sounding like a d!ck, the box was never on for more than 15 Min while in that configuration and everything wasn't even hot. maybe as hot as it would have been it I was holding the stuff in my hand for 5 min.

I could see if I was running it for hours making parts, but the machine isn't even at that point yet.
