- Determine which style printer we will attempt to build.
- Decide on additional Electronics
- Other electronics needed
- Stepper motors
- extruder heater(s)
- power supply(s)
- heated bed
9/18/2013. Rumba and endstops ordered from reprapdiscount.
We need to source the stepper motors and additional electronics. Ask Mike about the cost of the steppers from sparkfun.com
9/27/2013. Rumba, endstops, wiring kit, arrived. Currently @ Joe Zimmerman's house, will Bring to LMN on Monday.
There are 4 matching Nema 17 motors on the shapoko in the basement. (3 on the machine and 1 spare) I think these will work and we can take them and replace the motors on the shapoko with Nema 23's
Brent Morse also has offered up some stepper motors. I also have a bunch of motors pulled from machines. 3 motors should be identical, it would be nice to have a total of 6 motors on hand.
