Great idea man. I've been thinking about this for a while. As a former engineer for the military - we kept planned and preventative maintenance schedules. This is a perfect idea. As a suggestion - like yourself - I wouldn't put it on the front of the stepper motor... if it should fall off during operation - it's a potential hazard for it to fall into the toolpath. I would even use velcro. Thanks again man. Calvin
Cool! Also seems like this would be an easy feature they could add to the controller software, and even let you program maintenance reminder notifications
I agree. Oddly enough it doesn't seem like they update much with software (looking in from the outside) but they do a lot of work with being inventive hardware wise.
Neat idea. For that first meter did you try and wrap it around just the hot and not hot and neutral? Spark plugs are on and off at high frequency so that may be why it doesn't detect the signal

@@ZamoraWoodWorking Great idea! Would love to see a logging in the software as well, to capture the date, start time, duration and toolpath.

Do your stepper motors ever get hot? Good idea, but that would be my concern with placing it there.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Look forward to purchasing your dust hose adapter.
