Controller Board ~ SmoothieBoard 4X $120 ~ smoothieware.org
SmoothieBoard gives you smoother more precise movements ~ much more powerful processor than Arduino etc…
SmoothieBoard can be controlled by Pronterface or OctoPrint/Octocut ~ Standard GCode ~ SmoothieBoard is very supportive and there is an active and helpful community.

Nema 23 Stepper Motors ~ these are industrial motors ~ more durable and quieter. (not the stock 23 from Inventables).
Y Drag chain is oriented vertically so the X-Carve takes up less desktop space ~ vertical drag chain works just fine.

Where are you?

In case you might be wondering ~ I have given up on the X-Carve ~ it’s a great machine and I have it running just fine ~ generally speaking ~ but I am finding it too difficult and time consuming to get it to work with carving complicated, detailed stl files that I require … think I should go the 3D printer route instead as it seems I would either have to go with some very expensive and complex software to deal with complex stl models ~ using this machine for cutting CAD files and for V-Carving seems what the X-Carve is best suited for.

No regrets here ~ I have learned a lot from my experience putting this machine together ~ readily applied to a 3D printer set up! ;{)

Louisiana
