hi all i have some 8020 4545 profiles on my hans they are used, since they are not for sale in my country, the are really nive and still straight, so i was planing building a cnc for wood working.
a small cnc about 24x24x3 inches cutting area, but i dont want to buy a gecko for it, since i want to keep it low budget, i will later build a bigger cnc with geckos and 4590 t slots that i also have second hand. but for a first try i will use the 4545 slots.
also i have some stepper some nema 17 and some nema 24 and some others high torque 8 wires i had salvage before from laboratories machines, i used to have slide rails but the bearing are bad, and they are SKF and they are too expensive to buy so i wont use those rails.
so i need to source these parts:
screws, balls or square ones with its nuts.
drivers and controllers for the cnc, good ones but not as expensive as geckos
grantry plates and z axis plates
linear slides.
does anybody have any source not china to get or any experience with some other boards than gecks??, or anybody willing to sell some used drivers savage from a machine i would like to hear them.
