Good day all!
I have a Onefinity woodworker and I’m looking at upgrading the controller, but don’t want to hand over $2k for the Masso. I’m really impressed with the SLB, but wanted to reach out to see if I was the first to reinvent the wheel or if there was a trailblazer that I could ask some questions of?
I’m finally getting around to doing this. I purchased my Onefinity without a controller as I didn’t like the value proposition of their stock controllers. I’ve been unhappy with the XProV5 (dual Y gets out of sync), but have been delayed by ‘Life’ in getting this working
There is at least one person that has done this, and there is an Etsy vendor that has made some initial inductive sensor mounts.
I’m hoping to spend some time getting things hooked up this weekend. My initial feedback is that as delivered the SLB is intended as an upgrade to the original LB, and doesn’t include the Phoenix connectors for the motors; they’re easy to get on Amazon though.
I have the onefinity wood worker with a superlongboard working great. I have been slowly tweaking speeds currently I can go up to 6000mm/min or 236in/min during rapid movements any faster when pausing a job stalls the machine. Other then that it’s super reliable and have no problems with current firmware and settings. I have the extra 3rd x axis rail so the extra weight might not help matters. I’m hopeful I will get things faster with more changes. I make a change and run it for a week or so to make sure there’s no negative effects. Please keep this updated with your results, I’m curious what others with a onefinity have come up with.
How hard was the conversion? Did you buy new steppers?
I used the same steppers I checked and they looked like about the same rating. The worst was 3d printing the parts for the drag chain.
What do you have your acceleration set to? I’ve got my SLB connected to my Journeyman, but am seeing problems with the Y axis stalling. I’ve backed my accel down to 300 and it worked in very limited testing (hopefully will do more testing later today) , but I’m curious as to what others are seeing.
I don’t have the 3rd rail, but I have a Journeyman and so a longer and therefore heavier X axis assembly.
Can you share which proximity switches you used on your change over?
I’m still counting the costs.
thank you.
I believe my acceleration is at 250.

I didn’t even realize until very recently that there were two types of inductive sensors. I was only familiar with the cylindrical version which Sienci sells for the Longmill - these rectangular ones are new to me, but the one mounting strategy I found on thingiverse seems to be for this type of switch. It seems like it might be slightly more difficult to adjust, though.
I printed All the brackets and stuff from Thingiverse files. Drag chain brackets and sensor holders. The only thing different is I don’t use the onefinity Z axis I have a Shapeoko HDZ and adapter plate.
I like that idea!! I’m looking at a new Z axis too! I’ll check that one out. Can you share where you got the adapter plate or did you machine that yourself?
I machined my self. I have a aspire 10.5 file if you want it. It looks a bit confusing but when you have the parts in front of you it makes sense.
That would be amazing!!
I haven’t done any metal on my machine yet…that would be a win/win!!
I tried to upload the file but it won’t let me, says it’s to big.20MB. If you have any ideas on how to get it to you let me know.
couple of options, actually:
- upload to dropbox, which is free, and share me a link
- upload to your Google drive and share me a link
Try This Let me know it it worked.
requested access, but it should be good.
Thank you!!
I don’t really use google drive so I’m not sure what requested access is but as long as you got the file. Hope it helps.
