Black Friday Deal got me :)

listing said 4A max and said it was an upgraded version i have not picked up any power supplies yet. usually China ratings are exaggerated so i never go to the max. i think the motors are rated at 3 A. I will keep that in mind regardless. maybe i will get some sort of manual with them when they get here? I will have to wait and see. but if i smoke a $7 drive it won't hurt to bad

I've been gathering and planning quite a bit. My motors and drives came in yesterday and another batch of goodies should be here in the next few days.

I'm still working on my finished plan but have a much better idea of how thing will look coming together.

But with a floating head with a magnetic breakaway and about 5 inches of Z travel i came up with this so far.

 

I started to actually do some work but it was short lived but when Christmas and new years gets here i will have a lot more time to build things. But as of now i have a gantry beam and 1500mm rail to mount on it and all the bits to build the Z axis so it a start my lead screw for my Z needs to be cut down to fit the build. 4 start screws are limited in choices for some reason.

but everything is built around 3 inch square aluminum tubing. came across a drop of this for the gantry beam as well. i'm using 12 mm round rails for my Z. also decided to change some things on my floating head concept. after looking at it for a while i seen a better and easier way to do it
