That is so sweet I'll have to take extra metformin after watching that. And, compared to my stepper setup with its howling cooling fans on the xylotex board, plus the howl of the steppers when they are only running 1/8th step, the differences in the noise level are amazing. My cooling fans on the 4 axis xylotex are dual, one blowing in one end of the box, the other sucking out the far end, with the box made to fit the fans outside measurements, 12v dc salvaged PSU fans running on about 19 volts so they are running about 9k rpms. I had one fail about a month in from bad bearings, replaced it, and both fans now have about 5 years on them. They drown out most of the other shop noises, only the jointer makes more noise & then only when its making wood chips. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
