G'day, my name is Ray, I'm from New Zealand. CNC is a hobby for me, but everything is a hobby....I love making things.
I built my Sieg X2P CNC conversion about 12 months ago, and built the controller from the standard "Ex-Ebay" kit that I am sure most of us have encountered.
My Goal is to be able to eventually build a machine that can be commercially viable, no not the Sieg...
I recently set out to build a new enclosure...with grandiose plans, complete overkill, and would do everything I need, plus more...but not mow the lawns (thats the wife's job)
Well that was about a month ago, and it was going really well until i realised that getting my head around running an overly complicated BOB, and a smooth stepper, various power supplies...so many things had to be considered. Frankly, I gave up.
I already had my current control cabinet, but it was too limited.....I had a 1/2 built cabinet that looked nice, but didn't do what I wanted, I was confused.
Solution: I found the MASSO....so here I am. Taking it slowly, learning....and hopefully setting myself up to achieve my goal.
Why did I chose MASSO
What is my build plan
So here I am.....super pumped to be part of this community.....optimistic that I have chosen the perfect solution partner
Cheers
Ray

Why did I chose MASSO
- So configurable
- I didn't need fancy screen sets, macro's, or overly complicated
- I hate having to use the mouse to turn off this, and turn off that
- I wanted to support a local initiative
- ....and it looks damn cool!!!
What is my build plan
- Get it running in the basic form
- Learn from this community and cherry pick the good things
- Build it robustly
- Work out what I am going to do with all those inputs , outputs, relays TTL circuits......
So here I am.....super pumped to be part of this community.....optimistic that I have chosen the perfect solution partner
