Disappointment of Onefinity / Redline customers

Hey all,

you all know how as long as Daniel was providing support to Onefinity’s customers, he had Onefinity’s goodwill, but when Onefinity had learned everything they needed from him to replicate his spindle/VFD product and offer it themselves, they behaved like described in the “Onefinity Forum Censorship” thread here in this forum.

As you know I’ve been thrown out of Onefinity’s forum for having pointed a disappointed Onefinity customer to the fact that PwnCNC’s product is in stock.

Now as a non-member I still follow their forum and I observe that Onefinity customers are very dissatisfied, first because of the many monthes long delays that they have to wait for their product after having paid the entire price in advance, but here also as it seems by a VFD enclosure design issue:

Attaching the Redline VFD to your table

so this seems simple but there is nothing to attach it to the table with. no angle brackets no obvious holes to insert screws. nothing on any videos I have watched. Also no owners manual but I am used to that it is probably online.

WHO ARE THESE ENGINEERS ANYWAY? REMINDS ME OF THE COMMITEE DESIGNED HORSE. weird that we have to come up with common sense fixes nearly every time we get a product. maybe we are being too hard on them as these are new products. But it seems weird that it is nearly every product we pay good money for has some simple to fix flaw that should have been spotted at the first or second engineering meeting..

@Daniel, since I don’t have a specimen of your VFD enclosure, how is this with the PwnCNC VFD enclosure?

There’s 2 ways. A French cleat (included), only good for vertical mounting. And a mounting bracket product option where you can mount it virtually anywhere

Hey Chris,

thank you for the information!

In my Omron MX2 User’s Manual (new MX2 Version 2 Manual), it says that it’s not allowed to mount it in the horizontal orientation:

Does this apply to the PwnCNC DELIXI VFD too?

:warning: Caution! The equipment is intended for installation in a cabinet. The end application must be in accordance with EN 60204-1. Refer to the section “Choosing a Mounting Location” on page 29. The diagram dimensions are to be suitably amended for your application.

EDIT: Okay had a look, the Delixi EM60 Series Manual says: “when … installed vertically”:

Option of the installation space: When the EM60 Series Frequency Inverter is installed vertically, sufficient heat elimination space shall be provided to ensure effective cooling. Installation space of EM60 Series Frequency Inverter Attention

Seems to imply that you may mount it horizontally?

The manual is funny as it says it needs 100m / 150m clearance. I don’t have access to see how many mounting brackets or maker files have been sold, i do know the vfd comes with a 20 month warranty, and i do know that while i was employed with the company i hadnt heard a complaint rooted at being under the table, or overheating where the environment was hot

It doesn’t say you can’t mount it horizontally or under table. If the fan draws air in and push it out, i don’t see why you couldn’t though.

Hey Chris,

Oh man, you got to install it at the neighbours? :rofl:

My thoughts exactly… imagine how much that spindle cable would cost!!

This is also version 4 of the manual. When i bought my spindle kit back in 2021 or so, it came with a hard copy manual. I would comnstantly reference it with support tickets. I got irritated because my version 0 manual was different than the version 4 manual found online wasnt aligned. I did ask Daniel to send me a hard copy of version 4, which he did, and the hard copy finally aligned with the pdf found here. It was like scratching an itch you can’t reach.

Hey all,

I think the original PwnCNC products are nicely designed… :wink:
