Hi amixe
I bought a 3040 and it came from Portsmouth and took two days for delivery

[amxen]

so no import duty to pay? from the same seller ? thanks for the fast reply

[Gregor]

Hey amxen, Did you buy it yet? I'm thinking of buying the same thing.

[amxen]

Yes mate iv got it . having some problems with it but think i have worked them out

this seems to happen quite a bit with all sorts of stuff on auction sites, stuff is being sent by one family member in China to one here in the UK. few different ways they can get round the import duty. Only thing is don't expect the support to be any better jf you have problems just because it was shipped from UK.

I've just got a 6040 and having problems with x axis managed to get things moving in Mach 3 rest of axis are fine but x moves in random directions and sometimes don't move just make humming noise with no motor movement atall

Guess, Wiring from control to motor fracturing, its amazingly brittle, or the TB driver giving up.

Swap X&Y axis plugs over and see which axis gets the problem?

It will be a loose connection to the Direction pin on the board or plug it's a common thing. That or the wire as break in it like MushT suggests as the wires are poor quality.
