Hi all,
I'm new here so I don't really know if this is the right subforum. Sorry if it isn't.
Electronics is one of my hobby's and for this I need to make PCB's (and drill them ), front panels and lots of other stuff.
Because getting started with the chemicals isn't very healthy and the cleanup takes a lot of time I would like to make some CNC equipement.
I would like to be able to make pcb's and drill them, work with MDF, plexi and thin aluminum.
I've already seen lots of DIY CNC machines using stepper motors from printers etc. etc. But I've been told that Servo motors would be of better use since they have higher speed and accuracy.
My first couple of questions are:
- Which do you think is best? Stepper motors or servo motors?
- Is a working space of 300mm x 200mm possible for a home machine?
- Any other starter tips?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. I'm still a electromechanics student so I'm kind of on a low budget
