Thanks for the reply and explanation. 4' by 4' is pretty good sized. I noticed also with your design, that you could do 4' by 8' too. I guess you would have to split the gcode or the design or both, but if you used good registration marks, that should do bigger signs well.
I have an old handheld scanner that worked kinda like what I'm talking about. It would take two or three passes of it to get the whole page and then the software would actually stitch the scans together with varying results, but usually pretty good.
My machine will have about 20" by 34" by 6" cutting area. I have the same size motors, 270 oz. I am hoping these will be good enough. How are you driving the motors? Not the controller, but what type screws and gears if any are you using?
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing some cutting edge results.
