Alright, I am ready to do my shopping for the CNC conversion to the X2. I have it torn completely apart and have given it the total cleaning and tuning up the parts. I finally got the bugs out of it and now she is ready for the job of being converted to CNC.
I need to start shopping for parts. I was thinking of the HobbyCNC board but I am not sure exactly what steppers I should get. Will around 280 in. of torque do the job? also what about the mounts?
I would like to stick with the stock screws if I could for the mean time.
Would it be better if I bought a kit to convert it? I would rather not only because I believe putting this together from pieces will give me a great wealth of knowledge on how it should be and why it has to be that way. I have other projects down the road that I will be fabricating so this is my educational learning curve.
Thanks
Bill
