+1 on the Prusa MK3S, and they have very a good slicer with configs for all their printers. https://www.prusa3d.com/product/origina ... k3s-kit-3/

Re: Wire are requirements
Since you’ve done this conversion I’m sure you’re a little more familiar but I’m kind of lost do I still need to buy used up contact her to put inside the cabinet if I buy this remote you stop that you’re recommending also any input on which relays I’m supposed to purchaserk9268vc wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 3:19 pm I did a pm-30mv with clearpath conversion and here is my recommendations
Use Teknic's cables for the servos. You need not cut them
Use the CNC4PC breakout to plug the teknic cables right into acorn

i got 20ga stranded wire in bulk from automation direct, and then used crimp on ferrules on all ends.

You can get shorter lengths of wire on amazon for less too, or by the foot from automation direct
I would recommend picking up a rotary disconnect for your on/off and an Estop button from automation direct as well
I used one of these deals for my Estop so i can hold it while it runs
For protection, i would recommend Eaton miniature circuit breakers instead of fuse holders. again from automation direct
Get a type B for your electronics, and a type C for the servo powersupply(s) [different trip curves]
Pick up some cable channel for wire management and some terminal blocks for your power rails

If you have any questions, feel free to dm me, good luck!

I think your post might have gotten a little garbledVwfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 9:23 pm Since you’ve done this conversion I’m sure you’re a little more familiar but I’m kind of lost do I still need to buy used up contact her to put inside the cabinet if I buy this remote you stop that you’re recommending also any input on which relays I’m supposed to purchase
If I understand what you're asking, you run a cable from the E-stop box to your control cabinet. All it is is just buttons in a box. I basically only use it as an E-stop.
The acorn board comes with a relay board, but that isnt how you connect E-stops. They just break contact from acorn DI to PSU. Look up the wiring diagrams under the main acorn page. they've got all the schematics for everything, just follow it.
Buying the WMPG is also strongly strongly recommended. That is more important than a lot of stuff in my opinion. You use it to start, pause, and stop programs. adjust feed rates on the fly, and you use it to jog the mill around. I thought it was pricey and didnt get it for a while, but brother, its worth it.
