Back to Ian M's profile

A friend recently acquired an older Mostics 3018 Pro CNC machine, with the optional 5.5W blue diode laser module, and the standalone controller. [[1]] aren't particularly helpful for support as they purge old product pages from their site, and don't offer any support except through Facebook! Fortunately its a direct knockoff of the Sainsmart [3018 Pro CNC], and Sainsmart are much more customer/user friendly.

Not wanting to spend £££ on commercial CAD software and path to G-Code plugins, I've been learning G-code and investigating FOSS and freeware options to drive it.
