CNC 3020 Enclosure/Upgrade

[Pointy]

Well I am pleased to report success!

I checked the Windows 7 netbook and the Visual C++ runtimes and net framework 4 were missing. After installing them the plugin worked.

I have since installed Windows 7 HP 32bit on the CNC PC and everything seems to be working now, I need to do a proper test run, but I don't anticipate any problems. (Famous last words!) The only downside is I now have to buy another Windows 7 licence.

The last few jobs are...

• Redo the connectors when my new right angled ones arrive.
• Sort out the cable chain.
• Tweak the HID controller firmware.

The cable chain leads me to my next project, as I went and splashed out on a RepRapPro Ormerod. My plan, when I get the thing built is to try and print my own.

Here's a 3d model I prepared earlier...
