    Lightbulb Newb build, Small home MDF cnc router

    I have started a build around the "" kit, I went higher torque as I plan on expanding it a little, eventually.
    -- Openbuild for rails
    -- hobbyCNC for electronics and engines
    -- Ebay power supply
    -- Home hardware/canadian tire/home depot etc. for the rest; inc. leadscrews (I am in Ontario Canada)
    I have cut and assembled most of the parts of the CNC but have run into a problem.

    The problem I am having is this: I botched soldering the board.
    So now I am trying to find a replacement that can hopefully(but not necessary) fit my power supply and engines


    I'll throw up pictures(of the cnc) when I get around to it in later posts.

    Thanks, brieg

    This may be a bit late, and while not exactly cheap should fit he bill.

    Stepper Motor Drives, Xylotex Online Store

    And it is already presoldered ready to run.

    Why not just buy another HobbyCNC board? That's going to be your cheapest option, unless you want to roll the dice with a cheap Chinese drive from Ebay.

    I rolled those dice so hard that fire started. Ebay "Dice" are expensive, I have learnt my lesson.
    Pictures will have to wait, its in complete disassembly because "I am the best!".
    Sidenote: I bought a better soldering iron and I am ready for round 2.
