<p>An example of a poor choice for a motion system is an Ender 3 3D printer. An example of an almost ideal choice for a motion system would be a welded metal tank with ballscrew and linear rail actuators mounted on it.</p>
<p><strong>DANGER.</strong> The Powercore operates at a potentially hazardous voltage of 64 - 150 VDC, and supplies high-power waveforms.</p>

<p>The Wire Tool is intended to be used in combination with the Powercore (V2 and later) EDM power supply. Improper use of the Powercore can increase radiated emission levels. The intrinsic properties of EDM necessitate operator care and supervision. Touching the workpiece or electrode(s) during EDM operation may expose the user to 64 - 150 VDC high-voltage pulses. <strong>Individuals with pacemakers or similar medical devices should not operate the Powercore</strong>, as the high-voltage environment could interfere with their functionality. Ensure that proper measures are taken against EMI. Routing of EDM power through unshielded/twisted cables is not recommended. Unshielded/twisted cables function as antennas, which will radiate emissions into the nearby environment.</p>
<p>The following assembly will cover the base configuration for the WT-01. While not an ideal configuration, this base design is meant to work with the Ender 3 V1 3D printer. This choice is due to the extreme ease of acquisition of an Ender 3 V1. Many users claim to have one on hand already. You will need to modify the Tool Mount and Vat to fit your specific machine if you are not using an Ender 3 V1.</p>

<p>This assembly may require hot glue, super glue, and heat set inserts. Each of these pose their own hazards to health. Take proper safety precautions when assembling the WT-01.</p>
