Chronicle of a Geek. (Jgro Build)
Well, let’s begin at the beginning shall we. I started my build with the controller box and drives. I used a surplus enclosure from a company that makes printing equipment. I picked up my drivers and steppers from a yard sale for $50 and only one drive is a bit flaky.
The motors are Power max II and the drivers are PacSci-6410 (micro stepping) from Pacific Scientific, very nice for the money.
The power supply is one I striped out of a telecom equipment rack I spotted at the dump. It’s 50 volts at 10 Amps, and the price was right……FREE!
Photos soon…
