Hey everyone looking for direction and maybe what might be a good way to build the electronics with the base framing using the CNC4Newbie set up.
I'm not well versed as to what will work with what so looking for a (PATH) to what works with what. power supplies, steppers, controllers for spindle, controllers for steppers.
I dont have a problem with reading or research but its hard to make light as to what all works with what. I currently have a 4 year old 6040 desktop cnc that uses mach3 along with fusion360 or cut2d for design and gcode. Looking for better rigidity and accuracy, wanting to do some aluminum cutting also along with the norm or wood and acrylic.
considering using these items.
1) smoothie board for my controller
2) Nema 34 steppers ( not sure on weight)
3) 2.2k water cooled spindle
4) gecko stepper controllers
I use Fusion360 and Cut2d currently for programming and g-code
thanks in advance
John
