The Stepcraft room has 5 power outlets for the 5 plugs we need during operation (Stepcraft power supply, earthing cable, milling motor, air pump, laptop).

Unfortunately the cables are quite short, which is we we have an additional power strip for 3 plugs, but all cables are quite disorganized.

We need better cabling, keep these things in mind:

  • The earthing cable and Stepcraft supply should be at two neighboring outlets to ensure they are on common ground.
  • The air pump should ideally be on before or simultaneously with the milling motor control. The motor can be damaged without air flow.

I took some photos of the room yesterday and I have some ideas about the cableng and secure starting of the machine. I'll draw a suggestion for the cabling and post it for review
