Re: Mill Pro upgade to digitizing bundle

Hi Keith - That is good info, I was under the assumption that was a no-no. That will give me something to work on. I wish there was an upgrade option for just the probing cycles. I have no use or desire to digitize anything. Full probing cycles for $49 sounds good to me :) hello. fyi.. just because ...

Re: Problem out of nowhere!

I have returned to report the issue and solution. After initially having the problem with the machine randomly stuttering, I went through a ton of problem solving methods - adding another fan blowing on a heatsink that I added to the Gecko 540, putting the Acorn further away from the Gecko 540 as to...
