I started gathering parts last November and I finished it this week. I did my 1st test cut in styrofoam last night. I used Stepperworlds FET 3 controller and stepper motors. Rustle at Stepperworld has been very resposive to my questions and problems.(Bad power supply,he sent me a new one).
Now I have to decide on which software setup to use, so far it is Kcam.
