So im finally getting ready to set up my machine i bought used. It has the HDZ Z-axis and bit zero has a watercooled 110 spindle.
Where do i start
I used the manual when I bought my used 4XL. Even though it was “assembled” I found it was good to use the manual to make sure everything was assembled the way it should be. Good thing I did … I found a lot of loose, incorrect and some missing hardware.
The SO3 and HDZ manuals are in this link

For the Setup Wizard see:
What liquid is best for water cooled spindles Antifreeze, distilled water or something else
I used a straight mixture of RV anitfreeze in the one I got from PwnCNC but I understand C3D recommends a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. I don’t know what the advantage of a mix would be other than cost and perhaps lower viscosity.
