That sounds like the one that I have and I really like it.
My post still stands!
The Centroid upgrade I did resulted in better quality cuts on my HDPE. It's likely because that controller is much smoother. However it's not magic.. It's not going to help account for a sloppy worn...
RBK board is still available. $175 or best offer.
This has been sold!

Fusion 360 definitely has a learning curve. SketchUp is far easier to learn. There are advantages to both. If you absolutely need parametric design Fusion is a decent choice. After you get over the...
Are you talking about my 3D printed shoe?

Also, would you ever consider using something a little more robust than the box gadget?

What did you design that in?
Looks great!
You can still get the 2017 version of SketchUp for free. It's perfectly relevant for use today. You might need an extension to import DXF and DWG files however.

I have a stock set of springs in a PRS Standard that came with a spindle. With the spindle alone when the machine was powered off the springs kept the spindle up. I added an air drill later and it...

You have to loosen the V rollers on the gantry. They are eccentric so you can raise and lower them to tip the spindle forward and backwards. You can probably do it with an allen key, but you might...
