USA origin?

 

I believe the outer ring determines gender.

It's always been the inner most pin(s) in my experience that determined gender. Most of my experience has been RF related, but your post in #14 shows a picture of a female 4 pin connector.

That's the way I learned it. Pins = male, receptacles = female.

 

Thanks, but not quite what I had in mind.

The machine or the picture???

I meant a few close up pictures of your machine, on your desk. Some nice details; how the spindle motor is mounted, corner junctions, some mechanical solutions, and such. How does the z-axis move up down...

 

I failed to notice the "C E" Chinese export logo.

 

Not sure how I want to do this project. I am thinking that I will get some of these. Any idea what they are?
