Thanks for the kind words. I'm intending to get the 5th driver wired up for the 4th axis today so I'll take a video of that...

nice work jon,i,ll bet you mother was eggstatic,
enjoyed the videos and seeing it in action
what software were you using for the relief work peice you did?

:lol: yes she was. I just used CAMbam free edition for the relief. It's limited but should work if I use the right cutter next time...

Well...I got the 5th driver wired up, switched it on and just get a red LED. It's dead on arrival :cry: Tried connectors from other drivers which hold motor/power wires with it (and vice versa), and it still doesn't work. I've emailed Zapp, sadly it looks like I've got to test their customer support...:cry:

Good news, I sent the driver back and they replaced it a few days ago.

Currently I'm designing a stepper driver and thinking about how to make the machine more rigid.

I made a 1.6x0.25m wind turbine blade mould with it a few weeks ago out of MDF. It went well, leaving a nice finish. I will post a video of it at some point, though not all of it since it took a few hours!
