Decent start to my Monday morning, fresh delivery of 1kg Grey ABS and 1kg Grey PLA. Gonna use those for the plastic parts! Gotta love those emails that say "Your package has been delivered!"
Ok, so I think I'm finally making headway on things. I've picked out a rail for part of the Z axis, a 300mm hiwin rail, gonna order that later. /tangent
I think I've managed to figure out which motors to order, but I want to just double check, so if someone could have a little glance, I'd really appreciate it!!
X+Y axes: [www.kysanelectronics.com] (recommended on RepRap wiki)
Z axis: [www.kysanelectronics.com]
Extruders: [www.kysanelectronics.com]
(For the extruders, the plan is to make something like the Micron extruder, so the motor seems to match their spec. I'll be printing with 1.75mm, through a 0.4 or 0.35 nozzle, and an E3D v5 hot end. Micron extruder here: [www.3ders.org] )
As far as the electronics, the RUMBA board seems to fit the bill for things like the number of fans etc, but also taking into account the ease of use. I'm just hoping it's fairly straightforward to write the arduino code for it!!
Anyway, motors seem ok??
