Orac mach 3 upgrade project

Post by Webbcreations » Thu 29 Jan , 2015 21:22 pm

Hi!

I'm starting this thread to keep a track of my progress on this project that may help others doing the same.

I've had the Orac about a month and not done a great deal yet. The guy I got it from has already taken the electronics out so this has saved me a load of work.

I will be posting an add in the classifieds for these and steppers and control panel.

So far I have sourced an old dell pc and moniter and mounted the screen on the back and got the demo version of Mach3.

I will update this as soon as I do any more, soon I hope.
