It has been a while since I first tested the components with my 1F Woodworker, and after much time and effort (planning the layout, wiring, …) the main work of building my control enclosure is nearly complete. I just finished drilling/cutting the holes for the through hole connectors and components,…

Gordon Bennet, I had better not share any pictures of my wiring. Well, I could, but you might liken it to the children puzzle: [Screenshot_20211127-222617_Chrome] Very impressive. Remind me, with the Masso G3, it (1) does not need a fan (2) 5 axis such that one can add a rotatory four-axis?

Hey Tom @TMToronto , you’re one year in this forum . You got the cakeday :cake: icon above! Congratulations!

I went down many rabbit holes to complete my enclosure - none of them necessary, but it is my hobby and I have the time to enjoy it. Your children’s puzzle wiring I am sure works, and works well. As for the Masso, it does not need a fan (I have a 140 mm Noctua that will push air through my panel fro…

Your splitter sounds interesting but would need to convert the buildbotics controllers to handle limit switches - I have read that this seems reasonably achievable. The thought if a fanless Masso is appealing given the posts on dust busting controllers. Thank you for sharing your work and your res…

Hi @TMToronto I’m building up courage for the Masso G3 (and the funds - it’s gonna cost a bob or to). I’ve just discovered that there is a Masso distributor in the UK. I am interested in the Masso for getting a 4th axis installed. But while I was searching your threads on the Masso build (to cre…

I can’t find it either now on FB so I just attached a few photos here: My schematic and DIY PCB board of the splitter My solderable breadboard version My initial test with a 1F stepper and inexpensive driver Unfortunately I have not been able to get either prototype working yet - the original br…

Good luck with the splitter. Electronics can be frustrating to fix when you know it once worked. I have suffered from dry joints. Masso Upgrade Costs: well my Dad always said that “…a shroud has no pockets” so might as well enjoy it. Masso Upgrade Steppers: you replaced the 1F steppers. Any sp…

Not necessary, but since I knew I was upgrading my PSU, and eventually getting a heavier z assembly/spindle, I felt it was good futureproofing to get more powerful motors.

You mention Avidcnc for your parts: what do you think of their rotary part?

If you mean their rotary (4th) axis assembly, it is robust, but very expensive. I am currently designing and costing a frame and leg supports out of aluminum extrusions, so I can appreciate the modular design and how it fits into their CNC line-up. They use a Nema 34 stepper, have the sensor for hom…
