Hypertherm powermax 85

For small, I have an Odroid H2+ running an ethercat machine. The newer H3+ people have had issues with. I think I could work around them but am reluctant to recommed it. Perhaps an MSI Cubi i3 might be a good small option but again I have not  tried it.

 

In your opinion do you think the odroid h2 is better then the R pi4

As much as I would like to get a pc set up like that it’s more then I would like to pay and I only priced the MB and the CPU and I was around $400. I’m sure it would do everything asked it to do and not break a sweat, however I would like to get something more budget friendly. I don’t want to compromise on something that will cause any issues with cutting but I would like to do it with a less expensive computer.

Without a doubt. J1425 celeron cpu, similar size to pi, 2 NIC. Concern is they use realtek  NICs and they can be problematic with error finishing read which is excessive network latency with mesa devices.

Basically anything with a celeron or above, preferably 4 cores, and an Intel NIC

Hello from over the Pond,
Have you started assembling anything yet?

What do you think of something like this www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB7CY51B/ref=emc_b_5_t

What do you think about the Latte panda 3 delta ?
I like the idea of a single board computer but don’t want to get something that looks isn’t going to do the job well.
I use to like the idea of building computers and have done several when I was younger. I just don’t find that exciting anymore and would rather not. 

Hello, CNC Friends
So I spent a lot of money the last coupler of days. I have purchased a lot of stuff for a cnc table. hopefully I wasn't to cheap....I probably was but the price of things have gone way up .  So I went with the LattePanda. probably a bad choice, I was waiting for experts to join in but did not hear nothing. If you have better options for around the same price let me know, I could always return this. My original plan was with rack and pinion but after reading some of   tommylight   posts I decided to go with cog belt. I would like to use aluminum but the price is so high I will be making it all steel. My gantry with be made from 1.5"x4" tubing 1/8" thick. not as light as I would like it but it will have to do. My width of gantry will be around 62" with around 48" usable cutting with and around 60" cutting length. I will be using nema 23 motors 425oz for the x and y and 178oz for the z. I will ride on linear bearings HGR15s. For the Z axis i will use a double 10" draw slide as  tommylight  suggests and I will use a 8mm acme thread. I ordered the Mesa 7i96 board with THCAD2 boards. I am not sure if the THCAD2 would be the best but I contacted Mesa and that's what they recommended for the hypertherm powermax 85. So after looking, my plasma cutter doesn't have the built in voltage divider, so I will have to purchase that also to get it set up.  So I have screen recording of my 3d drawing.
