Re: Opinions on CAD software
"Best" is a subjective term, especially when it comes to CAD, so you

Opinions on CAD software
Does anyone have any opinions on what is the best CAD software for a
CNC milling machine? I am building a 3 axis gantry type machine driven

Re: How to deal with Stepper Motor heat - 150 degrees F
A little late coming into this discussion, but just one more thing to

There are quantization problems with other than simple CAD models, however.
Curves and low-tangent cuts are particularly subject to quantization error
