Babba,
I have noticed your posts on the Zone concerning the SX3 - I have no problems with Mach as I use it on my homebuilt machine and Mach is working just fine. I am pretty sure it has something to do with operating at 240v but as I am electrically challenged, I don't have a clue as to where to start looking.
Jinu117 - As above, I read somewhere else that someone was complaining of extremely hot steppers and they turned down the amps but there was no clue as to how to achieve it. If someone can point me in the right direction, I will give it a go. I appreciate that steppers can and do run fairly hot but my main problem is probably with the stepper drivers overheating rather than the motors themselves. My first post explains that the yellow, overheating LED lights up on all the drives after about ten minutes - not all at once but one fairly closely following the others. This would suggest to me that something is not quite right with the supply but what, I don't know.
