Superbox CNC Router Mesa and Touch Probe Pledge
Looking to add touch probes to the Superbox CNC Router
A Z touch plate will help with in setting up tools offsets, an is the main purchase item
An XYZ plate will help in setting G54. --'RepRap' Matt I'm planing on just milling our own from a block of 100x100x10mm Aluminium
We do not have any free inputs on the current parallel port setup to just add probes with the plates and cables so we need to either add a second parallel port via a pie card and BOB or move over to a Mesa FGPA controller.
A MESA 7i96S would be approximately 184.97€ + 31.03€ shipping (+ vat?), so we are going to look at using the PCIE card first since that ~ £35
So initial goal is £55, stretch is £250
