Dark Art Guitars | DIY CNC Electronics - RatRig KillerBee #4 feat. Mach 3, NVEM, Closed Loop Steppers @DarkArtGuitars | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.

Instead of going with a GRBL based controller for the KillerBee, as the Blackbox RatRig offers, I decided to go with Mach3. I am also using closed-loop stepper motors and a 2.2kw spindle. This means there are quite a bit of electronics to wire up. In this video, I go over all the parts in detail and explain what they do and how you need to wire them up for the machine to work in the end.
