There’s no “right” answer here. There’s multiple options to go to MACH3. There is no exact prescription.

First place to start.

  1. You need a computer with a DB25 printer port $?
    Or a Uc100. Around $150
  2. A design program to produce Gcode. Easel will no longer work for you. $50-$10000000000
  3. A license for Mach3. $175

Then you have a billion different options as far as controller set up. Best choice is a Gecko G540. Around $275
Then you need wire, a box to install it all in and a bunch of other nick knacks to get the hardware together.
