SO3: Total newb worried about XXL assembly (and hello!)

[mbellon (Mark Bellon)]

You can tell from the sockets. Do they look like the ones in your house (110) or for a clothes dryer (220)?

I strongly suspect they are 110 VAC sockets. Few houses are wired for 220 VAC in the garage. Electric cars and plug in hybrids are change this. YMMV.

If you’re going to have a computer in the garage, power protection is an issue. I wrote about this here:

Avoiding/Recovering from CM Crashes

1.) Write out all tool paths from Meshcam separately (roughing, finishing, waterline, pencil) so that I work with them independently… This is a useful work flow. A bit more management but the isolation of the G codes is useful… especially for restart situations. I know that @mbellon mentioned that separating the outlet used to power your computer and your mill is a good idea. I’ve done that but I haven’t taken the next step to connect the computer to a UPS. Mark, can you comment on the mod…
