It is easy to do really basic stuff like this.
No, it really is a photo! I never learned to do the renders from KiCAD,
but that's what I use and you're right, it's the best!
My idea for a "perfect" LCNC setup is to design a "motherboard" and
then
plug in all the other parts. There would be no wires
The above statement is the truest statement you can make about CNCs.
It's the wiring labor that kills you on cost and Chris' idea has gone
through my head a million times. The problem it getting high current
devices like contactors and drives in a PCB or socketable form. Still,
it's the "right way" absolutely!
Thanks,
