@Chrslintz we haven’t tested this but it wouldn’t be a question of whether the LongMill could use one - more a question of finding a software that would be compatible. For ex. I know that UGS, OpenCNCPilot, Candle, and bCNC all have functions built-in for surface probing but surface probing is different from geometry probing. What are you looking to use the digital probe for?
@Tmcfarland no more machines have shipped yet. We got the 30 router mounts in on Friday and Andy’s in Toronto today to pick up what we expect should be our remaining initial order of mounts. The latest issue with the incorrectly manufactured wheels have certainly thrown a spanner into our delivery schedule - we ordered some backup wheels from two separate resellers and they both delivered the same faulty wheels; I suppose all these dealers receive their wheels from the same manufacturer so I can only assume that there are now ten of thousands of faulty wheels making their way throughout the world all originating from this one manufacturer. Because of this we’ve gotten in touch with a separate manufacturer rather than a distributor who tells us that they made some wheels for us and they’re now being shipped. I really hope that they’re not just delivering the same faulty wheels as everyone else has. If the wheels are good and they arrive when we expect them to then it’ll mean that the remaining 4-week lead-time machines will end up shipping about 1 week late. Once Andy gets back tomorrow we’ll see how the parts look and revise our plan and delivery estimates and then provide an update here so that all the 6-8 week lead machine orders will know what to expect.
@Space we set aside a couple good wheel sets to replace anyone who got a bad bag. I’ll get a good bag sent out to you ASAP
@Chrslintz the connectors we use on the board you can see in this post: LongBoard Connectors - #3 by BillKorn I also just added some extra info there in case you want to buy from a more local manufacturer or supplier
@StefiKaye as of Andys last update we’re still trying to get the new v-wheels. I’ll update the original post appropriately. I suppose one of the downsides to being so transparent is that you can see when you would’ve been the next one in line to get your machine, sorry about that Stef
