The Shapeoko Forum

I made a mounting bracket so I could leave the spindle mounted at all times.....

Finally got my encloser finished......Now i just have to get the time to wire up the J Tech laser and see how it does.....

The full kit should come with its own spindle already

Mine are plugged into the same power strip......I just have to remember to unplug the usb from my computer so the Arduino doesn't stay powered on......Not sure if it's bad for it or not but doesn't hurt to error on the side of caution

To do it correctly would be very expensive......I use power strips on all my equipment so I can kill everything with one switch......Plus it also turns everything on with one switch.....I flip the switch and my shapeoko 2 fires up along with the lighting I installed in my encloser.....I do the same ...

Best bet would be to get a power strip with a switch built in and just use that.....What you have can be made to work but doing it safely makes it a pain.....

Just be ready, when and if you upgrade to the 0.9 you will more than likely have to switch them back...

Also ,what version of GRBL are you running? I ask because when I first got my shapeoko going a month ago I was running 0.8 and had to reverse my Z Axis to make it function properly......When I upgraded to the new 0.9 I had to reverse it again back the way it was originally ....

No experience with Fedex.......UPS will let you change it for free if it is still going to the same zip code.....And was told it was a $5 fee if to a different zip code......I would definitely call and find out though

The guys at LightObject are top notch......I bought a 40 watt C02 K40 clone off Ebay and upgraded it with the DSP kit from them.....And some other stuff..... http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/11/e44402f985ad3794089eb15307914702.jpg Called them on the phone several times before I ordered from them...
