Hi from North Wales

Hi to all member's and admins
I have acquired a entry level Upgrade CNC 3018 Pro-m GRBL for my home studio/workshop and have yet to open the box and build it. Hoping to get some tips from other 3018 users and have some fun.
Will open the box and start assembly tomorrow afternoon hopefully without any problems.

Thanks Mike.
Well I assembled the kit and it wasn't what I expected. The bearings for the work table are housed in plastic, not a good start. It went together quickly after cleaning all the swarf from the parts but that's as far as I got today. No manuals for assembly and wiring and no start up program as I can find. I have installed the software and easle but can't get any movement so far and its getting late so tomorrow is another day. Should start a thread.
I have it connected to a imac at the moment but have a Windows pc without a screen at the moment. It will be connected to the Windows 10 PC soon.
Thanks for your welcome,
Casp
