Interface CNC touch

Lars Tørnqvist on Sep 6th 2024

The Interface from Openbuilds is "a must have" for all Blackbox X32 owners. It's such a joy to use and you I never have to worry about losing connection from poor PC USB cable/port.

NO More Computer

Jerry Thowson on Mar 20th 2024

I purchased this interface just because I was ruinnning a windows 7 computer. Is the best purchase Ive made this so simple to use no more waiting for computer fire up cords going everywhere, only one cord from interface to the BlackBox plug in you USB with your code and the normal probe adjustment and you off no sawdust getting into your computers Im very happy with this purchase.

A high level device

Alain JBT on Feb 28th 2024

As usual, impeccable customer service. Compared to other light CNC brands that make gadget toys, OpenBuilds Interface is undeniably distinguished. Functional characteristics. The quality of its development and manufacturing Integration into the working environment Its competitive price If your Blackbox controller is properly configured and you have provided the necessary settings, you do not actually need a PC to manage your CNC and carry out all your work. For me, Interface is essential and in perfect adequacy with Blackbox. Thank you OpenBuilds.

Great product with bonus :)

Yuriy Druzhynin on Jul 6th 2023

Great device. I like how buttons react. I have placed antiscratch protector on the screen already. Additional Openbuilds branded USB flash drive 8Gb is very kind surprise.

The screen on my interface went blank after a minor bump. Open builds replaced it immediately. Great service.

Performance

LON STEINHAUER on Oct 27th 2022

I got this to use with my Demon Controller. I like the long cable provided to connect the pendant to the controller. I could use a sturdier attachment to the pendant as I fear the wires will get a lot of back and forth bending. I have made cuts with gcode from Vectric v carving, rotary cutting, and laser. And with gcode from lightburn. All worked great. It paused overnight without trouble. I wired it into my controller that uses an Arduino uno, using the tx/rx and an open 5v and ground pin. I use my own probe, z only puck type, not the one open builds sells. And you can load different machine profiles into the pendant on the supplied usb. Great product guys. No longer need that laptop sitting there. One more thing It could use one more decimal value when manually setting the steps/mm. (0.00”0”)
