Apocalypse Fabrication Would it be possible to get some detailed photos of the changes? I already ordered the new Ethercut system from CandCNC, but I just saw the gantry upgrades. Thanks Jason

jeepsr4ever All new upgrades brings customers into our new 2015 machine. Here is a teaser pic of the "Star Lab" gantry being assembled. This is some of the upgrade.
tlspeed1 Did you mail out a flier or anything for this upgrade? Don't frequent this forum much but it would of been nice to know you were offering upgrades. Thanks, Troy
jeepsr4ever Upgrades are still available and pricing has changed for the better. If you are looking to update/upgrade you need to email or PM here.
stillworkin what is the pricing for this upgrade now? I attached a picture of the gantry I have. [ATTACH=CONFIG]428[/ATTACH]
jeepsr4ever That gantry system is almost 5 years old. Young by machines standard ...but their are no upgrades for that gantry. You would be better served selling that machine and building from a Star-Lab gantry kit or buying a new table. The pan is so far from the top rail the Z axis would need 13"s of travel to reach it. All current upgrades are for machines bought from late 2011 - present That is still a nice machine
BorstMetalWorks Im interested in an upgrade if it's still available. I didnt even know it was an option till i stumbled upon this. I just ordered all new ethercut system from candcnc.
