What computers (and specs) are you successfully running Fusion 360 on ???
Do you run Linuxcnc on a separate computer ?.............and what is it??
I am running linuxcnc on a laptop and it failed a "latency test" ........... in a big way..........and now have to shop for a different computer...
RIP Chuck you really inspired me with your Rong Fu 30 cnc conversion.
Hope mine turns out as good.
Wherever you end up I hope they appreciate having a handy machinist around.

This is a very steep learning curve..............especially for someone who is adverse to the vagaries, black magic and witchcraft that is computers.

I have an older version of Alibre Design 11.2, that the new owners no longer support, If I can revive my old computer...
Chuck,
Given the benefit of hindsight, when converting your RF30, would you still go with the Nema 23 425oz, 48v DC, 3 to 1 geared combination ???
I'm converting a RF30 and am following your thread intently.
