Gecko G540 - local source
After loads of discussion and web reviews of the Gecko G540 driver, admiring it's compact design and connectivity I have decided ...
Over the next few weeks I plan to buy one of these drives with (3) 380oz steppers, is there a source in UK, or do they occasionally come up for sale second user.
I know the chances are slim but if you don't ask .....

Thats what I thought, i'll have to order from US then and risk the customs/tax etc.

You never know, you may get lucky on the tax issue !
Re: Gecko G540 - local source
Is the Gecko 540 actually different to everyone else's 540 drive?
Could it just be Americans following the herd on cnczone?
Re: Gecko G540 - local source
The 540 is made by Geckodrives and not sold in this country as it has no CE certification.
Re: Gecko G540 - local source
I liked the compactness of the unit, plug connections, 4th axis and bob all in one tidy unit. Steppers even come wired with plugs all ready to plug 'n' play.
Priced up locally (UK) some seperate boards to cover (3) axis and seperate bob and similar steppers etc, worked out not much cheaper.
