Extremely reliable seller

This CNC 3018 Pro is of the usual Chinese quality but the seller WAM Direct is a very reliable seller who is very quick to respond to any communication request and ready to solve any issues related to this . to their product. The product was delivered very quickly. I ordered it on Saturday and it was delivered the next day. All parts are nicely packed layer by layer in a box with plastic packaging materials. Most of the parts are unassembled except for the XZ head block. The aluminum profiles, which are factory-cut with protective foil, have cutting residues and the Bakelite parts have oil residues, but overall the condition is satisfactory. The step-by-step assembly process is not difficult if you follow the small booklet provided. except for 4 linear guide blocks under the table. You should check the following chart for the direction of 4 blocks. The small CD that comes with it or a link on the product description page contains all the software you need as well as some text files. After installing the CH340SER driver, you can connect the CNC controller to the PC and run the GRBL (Candle) control program to control the CNC. Please follow the instructions in the manual to select the correct COM port. Mine works with com4. There are 3 sample gcode files on the CD for you to try. It would be a good idea try a dry run (run with empty spindle and empty table) for half a minute with the new file to see how it works. Some gcode files cause the portal or table to crash into the frame. Although the stepper only slides with a lot of noise, it is still not recommended. The standalone controller also comes with these 3 code samples on an SD card, but my device had a problem with the standalone controller and I couldn't test it the first time. In general, from building to running the first code example, it won't be that difficult. After familiarizing yourself with the included software Candle, you can also try the free software bCNC for more functions and predefined simple jobs. And for your own design you can try the free CAD/CAM software Easel, FreeCad or Fusion360. Initially I had problems with the stand alone controller, spindle motor, lead screw clutch and XZ header. When I contacted the seller with my problems, they responded very quickly and their assistance in solving my problem was very generous and friendly. Even the delivery of spare parts was so fast and it only took 2 days for DHL delivery from Singapore. thinking that no product will be perfect, they responded very quickly and their assistance in solving my problem was very generous and kind.
