Pendant Modification

thingiverse

I never liked being without a pendant on the Tormach, so I built a couple of different kinds to suit my needs. I'll be posting an alternative path to a pendant in the coming days, but I've been using this one for several months now. This is a modified Contour Shuttle-xpress that's been converted into a smaller handheld format - not an easy feat by any means! It requires careful consideration and precision work, as a runaway machine could pose a serious danger. You'll need to weigh the risks against the potential reward of saving $60 on a controller just to make it smaller. If you're interested in attempting this modification, I recommend taking your time and carefully inspecting each component before trusting it with your machine. I've had my fair share of issues with metal filings getting into the knobs, causing the Shuttle to malfunction and not stop when commanded. I hope you find success and enjoyment in this project.
