Thats actually a rather low hp option. I'm into cnc machinery

and 3d printers and my biggest lathe, an 11x54 Sheldon built

in the later 1940's is actually being run by an rpi4b which has taught

it a whole bunch of new dance steps it could not do in 1945.

Why?  Just because I could. Most of my 3d printers are actually

moved by a bananapi-m5 runniing klipper. Why? They Just Work.
