What features would you like to see in 2024?

Improve the setup of the machines so that can be guaranteed to be square. As they exist now it is a struggle to square them within a reasonable tolerance. It is easy to say measure the diagonals but in practice is difficult to do accurately.

Support for a rotary.

Improved EMI shielding.

a ā€œeasyā€ button so when you push it a work of art appears…I’m being sarcastic lol

Hey Ron, hey all,

An ā€œitalian espressoā€ button :wink:

Proper homing sensors for the 1F controller would be nice. A good supported and documented set.

I’m aware there are rotary products available. I have come across a few blogs and videos and the hops they jumped through to get it working. I believe what people are asking is one that is plug and play either supported or recommended by Onefinity.

For 2024 it would be nice to have the option for a wider drag chain(s) to support liquid cooling lines.

After upgrading the elite I noticed how flimsy the whole frame is. I am considering getting the stiffy.

I think it would be a great idea to offer an aluminum wasteboard system that integrates into the QCW frame.

Those systems are already available for other machines like the genmitsu, Roland Shaepoko and many more.

Increased z-axis travel would be nice.

I’d like to be able to mount a fairly large rotary axis so that the center of rotation is at, or slightly above, spoilboard level and still be able to mill a couple of inches below the center of rotation.

For Onefinity to quit sitting on their hands and start selling a spindle.
They are letting others do the work for them.
Then they have the nerve to say, if you add a spindle they will give no support.
Come on people.

Yes, please support this.

This gets my vote as well! I would love to be rid of the router vs spindle dilemma.

How about a general weekly update by category on outstanding orders?

Shielded cables to replace the existing cables (X, Y, Z, etc.) and eliminate (greatly reduce) suspected EMI / EMC interference.

Honestly, at this point, my biggest CNC want is for a 4x8 cutting area. I wish OneFinity could simply increase the length of the X axis to 8 feet (or more) but I understand the physics behind keeping the pipes rigid across such a long area…

That leaves me to start looking at other solutions, even though I don’t want to leave the Onefinity behind…

The first thing I’d like to see is rotary support. This is huge.

Another upgrade which would be useful would be the option of slightly longer rails which would allow the use of an ATC unit without pushing the cutting area below 48x48.

Finally, a hand controller for the Elite series machines.

There have been so many responses, I am not sure you’ll see mine. I admittedly scrolled pretty fast through them, but I am shocked no one mentioned a MUCH larger cable chain system as an upgrade for those of us running a chiller, laser, air assist, and a 220v spindle, etc on a Masso system. That I am sure would be an immediate purchase by MANY owners, myself included.

Fourth axis / rotary is definitely the first priority…

This…I too would be interested in just buying the longer rails. I can purchase the stiffy by itself but not the longer y rails?

Also think the braking stepper motor should be on all z-20s with 80mm mounts from the factory. Id also possibly be interested in a more robust mounting solution. I’m not a fan of the GCW table.

I’ve spent days trying to square my machine perfectly but there is still some error. I’ve tried posting in the forum but I can’t add any photos which is super frustrating. Machine squareness is not perfect and subject to change over time. However, if you can measure the error, you could correct for it with a software calibration. Can you add a calibration feature for squareness?
