Hi all.
When you class someone as a noob, well I'm more noob than most so I'll need some advise on parts as I go. I'm also on a budget that is less than a shoe string budget, thats why I'm going to build it rather that buy it.
The cnc router is to be used for wood, Acrylic and thin Aluminum. I want to be able to make custom computer cases and maybe in the future water block. An Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OwB5al5KXg
I'm intending to build the frame from ply and feel my way as I go. Something like this is my inspiration : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIkejQEk3a4
1. Lets start with the break out board. What do I get? There are so many that I have no real idea what to get.
2. Stepper motor driver board controller. There are a few to chose from but thats the best for the budget.
3. Stepper motors. Again, a large selection. Will a Nema 17 work or do I need a Nema 24? Dual shaft single shaft? 6mm or 8mm shaft? These things I just don't know about.
4. "SCARY" Power supply.
Anyway any help would be welcome.
