Like most newbies I have been reading the forum for months and have been inspired by the many variations and materials that members are building their routers from.
I have been building for a couple of months and now have something to show for the effort. Don't ask for drawings as they are in my head and change to suit the materials I have available and the problems I encounter as I construct it. I know this is a cop out but I would rather be making chips than drawing pictures.
The biggest hurdle was the electronics as I have very little experience other than how to solder. As this was going to be the critical component for me I decided to get the Xylotex board and if I could mount it and get it going the rest should be easier.
The box I got was not big enough to house the transformer and board so I got another one and put the transformer in one and driver board in the other.
Once I was confident I had everything working I got the 269 oz motors.
Here are some photos of the finished driver board and power supply.
