it runs on fluidnc
esp32 d1 r32 arduino board with cnc shield
sd card
185mm table (y) with 200 mm (x)
has both limit switches. Or change out the table and not use the y limit switch.

well thought i would post to see if anyone like it

My mum was a potter for 50 plus years and she had a great device for centering her pots for trimming and turning. The giffen grip. I believe with your skills with the 3d printer you could incorporate a self centering chuck into the turn table
