Hi all.
After scrounging the forum for several months and tinkering around for a while, i finally got something to show.
Background: Since i'm a student I don't have huge funds to build a plasma router with big-a$$ servo motors :banana: , so i had to settle with an extremely low budget machine, meaning using whatever i had lying around and found in scrap machinery.
Low budget meaning, so far i've spent about 12€ on it (that's what.. 15$?)
so, here are some pics:
How it started:

This was scrapped, since i got binding or twisting in every single direction..not good :nono:
So i started over.. and this is what it became :

Now i need some stepper drivers.. the X-axis has a 3A/phase stepper, something a L298 obviously can't handle without a heatsink (don't worry i was just testing, disposable PCB )
So, c&c welcome, just be gentle ...
