    Hey guys I thought it would be cool to have a place to log our Phlatprinter hours.
    If you are using Mach3 as your control software you can go up to the Operator Menu and select the Maintenance Hours option. From there you will see how much time and how far your Phlatprinters have traveled over their life times.
    I have had to reinstall mach3 a few times so my hours have been reset. (I wish I had them since the MK1!) but I will start the show by posting my MKII usage time thus far.


    This should be interesting and fun to see     :D

    Dang I have work to do. Didn't realise you could do that. I have often thought of hooking up a dobbs meter. I get home from work I'll put mine up too. Like you though I have reinstalled Mach twice for me actually.

    Cool Frank :) Just thought it would be a fun thing to try and compare to see how well the Phlatprinters are running :)
    Looking forward to your results.

    12000 on the X
    6100 on the Y
    1300 on the z

    Total operation 37.40
    this season 0.01

    Now this is for my computer in the house with a version of Mach. I am set up outside now with a different computer and Mach. Geez seems like I've had more time on it than that. Does just sitting around "praising" it count? :?

    I haven't looked into it yet but I wonder if it is not possible to save the settings before re-installing Mack3 and than reloading them and that way you keep your time. Or at least to save the file where they are stored manually, then you can just overwrite the new file, after the installation, with the old one.

    I wonder if its not in the xml file somewhere? I don't think it would be, but it might.
