Beautiful Rodger you’re using vcarve Pro or aspire
I am using vcarve desktop. I just downloaded the .stl from thingiverse and imported it into vcarve desktop
Does the vcarve desktop have the rotary option available when you’re setting up your material or are you doing it as a flat object
Yes it has the rotary option

Can you post the file you are carving here? Post the vcarve file and the gcode you sent to the controller and I’ll look at them
Have you tested the axis with just MDI commands - just to make sure it is not wiring/connections?
Yes I have G0A360 1 turn G0A1200 5 turns

Thank you mr. Toronto I believe all congratulations however are do to The Forum we must give honor where it is due as far as obligated to share photos of course that’ll be our honorable pleasure must be patient though cuz now I’m trying to figure out how to cut out on my table an area to mount the Rotary attachment to where I can maximize the length of what is being turned as of now there isn’t much space as soon as that’s done for sure as far as laser goes I have lasers on ink pens and cups already using the post processor Modified by Rodger God bless

It would be great if someone could pull all this learning into a guide for 1F rotary conversion. Any takers 
.
I want to give rotary axis CNC a go. I am torn between a masso controller upgrade (which would also eradicate “the dust in air-intake” challenges of the buildbotics controller"), but it looks like a significant assembly job vs repurposing one of the buildbotics drivers as above.

Hey Andy,
I think I am a little away from putting something into action at the moment, but regarding using stock controller for rotary axis, Roger posted this the other day
