Sienci Labs Monthly Production Update - September 2024 - gControl Panel Computer, Spindles, and More

[@JoeSespn]

Yes, interested in the 4x2. A lot of us just don't have the space for 4x4.

[@ranger2056]

yes altmill 48x30 Be perfect machine for smaller shops

[@jimlang5864]

Very informative. Thank you for taking the time to discuss everything.

[@mlibby05]

I would definitely be interested in a 4x2 Altmill.

[@philipchristian9935]

Very interested in the computer for my Altmill. Cool to see a Canadian company continue to innovate!

[@richsmith9772]

We appreciate the updates. Im in the que for delivery Jan 2025!

[@shughes599]

Be nice if the shipping page listed spindle orders ... Would also be nice if the receipt/invoice had a URL to the order status page.

[@MattTaylor7]

Yes to 2x4 altmill. Totally ready to buy in January. Price not issue garage space is my limit. Please 🙏🏻

[@rodneycarpenter3253]

Thank you for the continued improvements the alt mill looks fantastic.

[@ranger2056]

will the gControl Panel computer Be able to connect the two machines on the same panel and will it have hdmi output for larger screen?

[@JoeLazzara]

Great questions!! That HDMI connection would be really nice to have. I sure hope so. 👍👍

[@billstauffer4304]

I am looking forward to the Sprouter and the magnetic mount for the LaserBeam.

[@ryanlambert1929]

One more for the 4x8, saving my coin 🙏

[@KeirWasHere]

You mentioned ATC, any hint on time line for that? And any idea whether it will be an adapter or a whole new spindle?

[@nationsnumber1chump]

4x8 please i want to be able to cut 49x97 sheets from other vendor's, not just home depot. Definitely willing to pay the extra shipping for it.

[@markah8497]

DId the Ultrabeam not have a Pre-Order launch on the 1st of September as advertised?

[@JamesHughes-photoJames]

Yes, yes, a 4 x 2 Altmill, take my money. A4 x 4 would be great if I had more space in my shop, unfortunately I don’t.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Outstanding update, as always, Andy. I'd be interested in knowing the price point of the computer you're moving forward with beta testing, as I may go that route with my AltMill (which I believe will be delivered in the next 3 weeks or so; yahoo!!)

[@IceCreams62]

Hi. By when the new SLB EXT will be available for selling ? How much will it cost ?

[@TheDMaged]

2x4 would be perfect for guitars!

[@The_Olivier]

4x2 would be great...

[@lonniec2116]

Sounds great

[@GreggBruinsma]

Will the g control panel computer be able to run V carve pro?

[@SienciLabs]

We don't think it is the ideal use for it but gControl Panel Computer does meet the system requirements for VCarve Pro.

[@JoeLazzara]

​@SienciLabs So basically, it wouldn't be ideal to use it for DESIGNING purposes, just running gsender and the machine? Is that right?

[@peterbeater012]

2 x 4 altmill please 🙏🏼

[@geegonzalez8042]

mine will arrive in oct...

[@joseguevara184]

I built a 50 x 70 cms. machine because I could not find a reasonable size for my home hobbies, or too big or too short.... not everything is fully industrial.

[@gihadmurad]

Did you consider making a Sienci Linux distribution (starting from debian) ? It could have gSender and other apps for CNC also pre configuration. You could customize a lightweight window manager like XFCE and it would be very fast. What was slow with Linux? The OS in general or gSender?

[@mlibby05]

@@gihadmurad The other issue is making the system user friendly to non techies. Linux as much as Lemmy wants people to believe is not as user friendly/known as Windows

[@GregCormier]

Please 2x4! No space for 4x4.

[@s.peters947]

Sounds like the bent rails they discovered could be good candidates to cut down for a smaller machine. . .

[@GregCormier]

If it works out, until they release an official 2x4 I'd gladly pay the 4x4 price for a 2x4 machine. Or have them cut down a 4x4, I think they offered this service with LongMill.
