Hi,

Hello all. I just found mycncuk googleling for informations. I'm owning a CNC for 10 years (many in fact).

Currents are:
- a small combo lathe / mill Alcera Gambin 300p (Mach3 + ESS + Custom electronics)
- A CNCized Proxxon KT150 (GRBL on ESP32)

I owned a chinese 9060 (VFD 1.5Kw) totally reworked on electronics (LinuxCNC, then Mach3 on USB board). It is now owned by Montpellier Fablab.

I'm also interrested in:
- laser cutting (got a K40 CO2 laser cutter motorized with Smoothiware on a 32 bits LPC1769 + Lightburn),
- 3D printing (Ultimaker 1+, also adapted to Marlin32 bits / LPC1769),
- Making machines : i built as a proof of concept of CoreXY Kinematics (GRBL on STM32).

Since i'm mostly a soft + hard man, i've worked a lot on CNC/Laser/3D Printing electronics & software, focusing open source (GRBL 32 bits on ESP32? STM32, LPC1769, Marlin, etc..).

I founded Montpellier (south of france) Fablab more than ten years ago and love Fablab / Hackspace / makers environnement.

Since i love open souce, i try to document as much as possible on my blog (https://civade.com, in french, but Google translate is your friend..), and opening source code and plans ( https://gitlab.civade.com ).

And as you can read, english is clearly not my native language... :)

Hope i could help and learn some more with you guys !
