New start

[Desertboy]

I'm sure the mesa boards are top quality but that would mean Linux?

Not for me my friend :D

Is fusion360 still free?
Seems like only for students now?

Tried estlcam now this evening and it seems basic but powerful !
Anyone tried it?
Or should I hold on with the software and focus on getting movement first ;)

They actually started making plugins for mach3 but never got past the beta phase it was working but the last posts on the mach forum are 5 years old so one would assume it's been abandoned. Given they had it working it seems a shame they didn't finish the work and bring it to market.

Fusion is still free

It's annoying that the controllers don't support both linuxcnc and Mach3 it seems it's a case of supporting one or the other.

I totally get the linuxcnc thing you have to be a sadist to go this route but I've been a casual linux user since 2006 for 6 years I never ran anything else but when I got into cad I had to go back to windows. Also I grew up with a dos prompt so linuxcnc isn't quite so scary.

Now I have a couple of machines running linux and a couple running windows.
