I have had this machine for about 1 month before I was able to finish it. Out of the box it was faulty so I was waiting for some parts from China. At the time of recording (Feb 2020) there was the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China. This had led to severe postal delays so I have still not received the parts. Therefore, I bought what I needed and solved the problems myself.

I'll post the troubleshooting and solutions video on this channel.

I have also recorded videos for:
-CNC Router software setup and routing your first project
-Laser module installation, software setup and burning your first project
