Here's yet another build log of a G0643. I will try incorporate a lot of lessons learned from many of you who have done this before, but my main reason for having this build log is because I will need some help as I go along for answers I could not find.
I received my G0463 about two weeks ago and the build began. Here are other parts I have ordered....
- CNC Fusion Deluxe Kit w/ helical couplings.
- PMDX132 Breakout/Motherboard (I have used this same setup in my CNC Router)
- PMDX135 Power Prep Module
- Gecko 203V Stepper Drivers
- Honeywell roll lever limit switches
I have not yet procured steppers. Will likely do tomorrow. Are there any good sources to get steppers from? I hear of Keling quite a bit, but wondering who else sells good steppers.
This is all the components I have for now.
I will build the control box once I can locate a good enclosure. Do you guys have any suggestions?
I am building a stand and will post progress on that later.
And now for some pictures............
