Hey Derek, hey Andrea l Wellman @bluewater, hey all, > [@WaywardWoodworker](#): > > Interesting, I have run over 2000 hours on the buildbotics controller for my production shop and although it has it’s limitations it has not given me issues (I run it on 1.0.9). > > I have since upgraded to a DIY Masso G3 controller on my Onefinity frame and although it’s a much more capable controller there are some features of the Buildbotics I miss - namely the web interface and joypad for jogging in multiple axis. Nothing more frustrating than having to carry my work on a USB thumb drive to my Masso (I refuse to install proprietary software of unknown security disposition on my computers to transfer files). I summed up some important differences in this posting the other day, maybe of interest for the original poster: - [**What the Elite’s Masso G3 cannot do or does not have** (in comparison to the Buildbotics Controller and the buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller)](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/buildbotics-vs-masso-controller-solved-answer-in-another-faq/23015/10) PS: I stick with firmware 1.0.9 too since I have not seen anything important for me [in the Release Notes of the later versions](https://github.com/OneFinityCNC/onefinity-firmware/releases), at same time it seems to me that they bring more problems. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/purchasing-a-cnc-for-our-small-business-help-us-make-a-decision/24148)._
