Hey everyone! Our machine is five now, and while still in fine shape and working hard, we're looking at maybe making it faster & better this year.
Now, does it even make sense to swap a old PRT 4G up to an Alpha? Swap the motors and controller onto our older frame?
Or should we just buy a new PRS Alpha? We could either go with a whole new machine, or we could just maybe buy the upper half (rails & y-gantry) and mount that on our existing table base. If we did go with a new machine, we could then take our old machine and add that revamped Z-axis with a 12" travel and just have it carve foam all day!
I'd love to get away from the older style gantry (and all it's issues) and have the newer style big aluminum extrusion. But I'd also love to save some money! ;-)
What would you do?
