542 Vs Geckodrive boards?

[JAZZCNC]

I agree to this, i have sold over 8K M542 and must have had about 10-15 back, and i cant say they were manufactures defect either.
The M542 is a very robust little bugger.

So when you having another discount weekend Gary I need some stuff soon.!!

So I cannot agree that their service is top notch.

OK well have to agree to disagree John.!

The 3nm stepper motors will have to be discounted a lot now they've increased in price to make them competitive. CNC4You is currently much cheaper.

Yes but once CNC4You gets new stock in then his will go up.
Believe me steppers are set for a BIG hike in price so buy now.

I just emailed them to change the order to 8! Reckon that's enough to breeding them?

Much appreciate the input guys, at moment have just got a few spare TBs and will solder them in as required...

As funds permit will move over to 542 drives, whatever the 3040 is likely to stay a self contained unit, a larger machine will have to get larger everything ;-)

Probably build cost as neodymium is guess why price of steppers is on the rise...
