Due to other commitments (work, basketball league) Nothing was done on the cnc project today. However, this is fortunate, because the quality of the work was poor.

With any luck, progress will happen tomorrow afternoon.

I do have a couple of questions...

1. What is the most economical (cheap) software for converting 3D CAD models (STL, etc) to G-code? I have found a couple and the best bet so far is MeshCAM (~$100) Are there others out there I have not run across?

2. Does anyone have a supplier/part# for a good, simple N.C. home/limit switch they've had good luck with? Again, since I'm...err "thrifty", I'm looking for low-buck but decent.

Thanks! More to come and pictures whenever I get something that looks less like a pile of MDF!
