sorry if this isn't the right spot. I was looking at buying the cbeam xl. but I'm a wood worker not that techy. I'm looking for recommendations on what controller/ driver I should get. I'd prefer all in one and usb controlled. thanks for all your help. can't wait to order
Openbuilds will have its own controller soon (I hope? @MaryD ) So if you're not in a hurry you might want to wait for that beautiful beast to be born
If you're in a hurry, the tinyG controller would meet your requirements. The XPro2 is another option but not sure when the store will have them back in stock. As a woodworker, I'm wondering why the interest in the CBeam XL though. You might be better served building an Ox or CBeam based Ox as you can fit larger pieces through them.
if I got the cbeam xl, tinyg and a power supply I'd be good to go ? id like to build bigger but not sure on parts availability locally like drive not order.
This is where you make a friend on the forum from the states, have them order it, then ship it to you... avoids issues with companies not shipping to the frozen north!
