Hello all. I'm posting this as a "pre-build" thread as I still have to firm up some arrangements with Nate from FLA but I am going to be treating myself to a Saturn 2 4x4 w/ Nema 34 mounts. All of the main components I have already ordered and have started rolling in as of today. I will list them below and maybe get some feedback on them. I'm very excited and can't wait to start the assembly process. Now that the parts are ordered, I'm focused on building a bench for this monster. I currently have and built an OpenBuilds C-Beam Machine XLarge. Great machine but it didn't take me long to outgrow it. I find myself constantly limited by the available work area. Anyway, without further due, here are the components I've ordered:
Nema 34 8.5Nm closed loop steppers x4

3KW Spindle and VFD w/ pump

60v 12a Switching PSU x2

14mm 20 tooth pulleys w/ 5mm keyway x3

14mm w/ keyway to 1/2" coupler

Of course there are a few other odds and ends, such as an Ethernet SmoothStepper, the FootMaster leveling castors for the bench, stepper motor wire ect. I am also going to repurpose an ATX PC computer power supply for the 5v and 12v power. I am planning on running the entire machine from 220v single phase which I have in my shop. I'm planning the bench to be made from 2x6 lumber and will post a design pic from Fusion360 when I'm happy with it.
Feedback is welcome!
Thanks
Leon
