Because I feel like an utter fool.

I bought a chinese 6040 from ebay (german seller).

And boy have I had a time getting it to run. I've got it in a place now where I can run code, but the axis stutters.

Could someone help me figure out what's up?

I've read on here that these machines only work with the re-skinned chinese version of Mach 3, whereas I downloaded it from the vendor (hobbyist licence).

Right now I don't mind if it takes redoing the whole thing from scratch, I've had enough.
