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

Performance
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”)
