I have been rearranging my shed & now would like to install my controller on the right side of my table, partly because it gives me a direct line of sight to my wifi mesh system, resulting in better reception. I’m assuming the two “Y” cables should be able to just swap over (yes they do fit & yes …

Hey Moggy, [image] Moggy: What sort of cable would be required to make an extension, ie; cat 6??? since they have to be flexible, you need stranded wire . If you want to use the same connectors as on the stock cables, the crimp contacts are for 24 AWG – 18 AWG, so I would take 18 AWG. If you…

Thanks for info, which has got me thinking, so if i may, a couple more questions. Do you know or have any details of the plugs (the bigger ones) that connect onto the “X” & “Z” sockets? Reason being, is that as you said the connections are the weak point so, I’m now thinking that rather than addin…

I got a very similar response when I expressed the standard cables should be slightly longer than they are to accommodate various setups (some of which they advertise and have video instructions on setup). I’m not sure what has changed, but the forum response from Onefinity has definitely changed, …

I bought longer cables on Etsy. I don’t like the extensions because they add an additional point of failure.

[image] Moggy: Solution - keep the controller on the left side :confused: Because of the symmetrical nature of the machine, you should be able to flip sides at will. I originally built mine with the controller on the left, then recently decided to try it on the right side (the more traditiona…

Moggy, I’m sorry, we cannot offer suggestions on how to modify wires as it’s aftermarket and done incorrectly would void your warranty and potentially damage the machine. As for the extension length, in our tests, up to 4 extensions work, however, the reason we do not give an exact amount is becau…

[image] Machinist: Because of the symmetrical nature of the machine, you should be able to flip sides at will. You cant “flip” the X carriage & to spin it around would then position the router at the back. Unless I consider stripping it back & reversing it, but then would the code run in oppo…
