I wanna buy a gg3 or any gg really I need to know can one buy it and make a ar lower same day or will it take time to learn and can you make a ar lower out of one piece of metal

I have tried everything. So my gg3 is not connecting to my computer no more. I checked the emergency stop button. I even switched it out for another one. It worked and then went back to connection error. I read stuff here about X loader and the girdle controller. To be honest, I think it’s a Driver issue. I downloaded a virtual computer on the Mac so I can install the X loader. I also read about people using avrdude but let’s face it have no clue wtf I’m doing 😅. Not very tech savvy. I was Trying different usb cables and nothing. I know Mac is not the way to go but it’s the only thing I have right now. If anybody can teach me how to use the X loader or whatever it is to get me going again thanks.

has anyone printed their own jigs? What is the best printer to produce quality jigs and not break the bank?

ive been looking at the prusa mk4. any suggestions?

has anyone tried milling triggers or hammers? Or has anyone tried milling any other parts out of a steel flat? Jigs? Codes? Thanks

The milling codes were supposed to come with my universal Jig from GGD, but it didn't. Would someone be able to help me out?

Does anyone have the spindle belt specs? I'd like to see what i can source locally.

ALARM: 2 - G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained. Alarm may be unlocked.

Any ideas why that would pop up before probing?

I have it listed on KSL Classifieds for more info thanks!

GG3 new in box. 1500 located SW FL Hase starter kit included.

I've had my gg3s for a little over a year now and I'm just discovering GGD the website doesn't look promising and I've seen a couple comments about how they can't get anything right at the moment but the universal ar 15 kit and all that goes with it looks like a good idea

File: M4 AR15.dd
Job: M4 slow cut fcg and rear take down
DDCut Software Version: 5.3.3
Ghost Gunner Firmware Version: GRBL: 1.1g
FW: 20240619
GG: 3A
PCB: 3B

With a 2APP universal jig. I was able to probe for X and Y without issue using a Fisher edge finder. When it goes to probe for Z, you switch out to the 1/4 end mill - and all of that works great.

Then it wants to start moving for Z, using the joystick, so you can do a paper test. That is where it fails with "Ghost Gunner encountered ALARM:2 G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained. Alarm may be unlocked."

I never get to the joystick so nothing moves (on the Z probe).

Anyone have any thoughts on a solution?

edit: Confirmed this is working with the file: AR15.dd (at least so far as the probing -- its cutting with that file currently, but would prefer the M4 cut)

Looking for either the .stls for the optic cut metal parallels, or the size of the 2 squares.

Ordered some a month ago and still waiting.

I have a NIB GG Gen 3. What are these selling for, and where are people listing? Thanks in advance for any information!

So I've had this GG3 for a couple years. Original owner. Milled out a good bit with it. Haven't used it in about 8-10 months, figured I'd try a lower last night. Machine disconnects around 50%. Try starting it back up, spindle barely spins. Reset everything. Starts spinning fine, get to 65%. Disconnect again. I have had to power cycle this thing dozens of times. Apparently I can't even call support any more without paying? Crazy. Put in brand new drill bit, tried new lower, same problem. "Machine has disconnected" right at like 65%. Anyone have similar issue?

Anyone have a part number for the threadmill from the ar-00 buffer tower kit? I have all the other components and tooling but that one mill. Don’t want to buy a whole kit just for the mill. Seen some through McMaster-Carr for ~$50 a mill but need to figure out what the minimum thread size is to get the correct one for the tool pathing.

Can I still purchase a $1,500 gg or maybe even cheaper if used? used would be fine so it would pretty much negate the shipping cost. looking more into budget than new/value while being able to make custom parts and an m1911. Not sure if reddit is the best place to get a used 2nd gen gg or elsewhere

Wassup all, just like the header says, I placed an order for the GG3-S back in March and surprise I still do have it and just want my money back at this point. After I paid the deposit, I was asked two months later for the remaining balance and to expect it in June, July, August…. How screwed am I with regard to getting 3k back at this point? Or is it just wishful thinking and figure out a legal route?

Has anyone completed a New Frontier AR9 lower? If so did you make your own jig and what code did you use? I’ve seen the older post but they are from a year or two ago. Thanks

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m struggling to find a straight forward answer. Is the gg3s capable of machining 1 solid block of aluminum into a 1 piece lower reciever? Or is it only capable of making a 3 piece lower?

Could it be programmed to machine 0% receivers for other firearms like a 1911?

I went to website, but I can't figure out how to order the jig bundle. Are they no longer being made?
