CNC Starter kit of your dreams -- STRONG stepper motors Gecko drivers much more
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Background:
------------------------------
I acquired everything in this auction several years ago, waiting for the day when I would assemble everything as part of my master plan to build an awesome CNC setup... unfortunately that day never came!  The world turns... and now I'm moving out of state, and realistically I'm probably never going to get to this project, so it's time I quit holding on to these wonderful parts and let some other CNC guru have at them.

NOTE: I have never used any of these parts!  So I make no warranties -- HOWEVER, everything was acquired NEW, so I don't expect any problems.  Also, you should know that I am not an expert so be sure to double-check that the components are the right components before you go hooking up power to anything (e.g., the capacitor is probably overkill but I got it cheap).  I *THINK* I have everything needed but I've said that before and been wrong!


Included:
------------------------------
3 x IH34 stepper motors
3 x Gecko drivers
1 x Sound Logic M2 (rev 1.8) PC parallel port break-out board (http://campbelldesigns.net/files/breakout-user-guide-rev-1-8.pdf)
1 x Relay board (http://campbelldesigns.net/parallel-port-relay-board.php)
1 x voltage regulator
6 x heatsinks (for motors)
1 giant heatsink (which I intended on putting over all 3 Gecko drivers)
7 x fans (6 for heatsinks, 1 for case)
1 x high-output fan (intended for giant heatsink)
lots of wire-tubing (shown in photos)
1 x giant 60,000 MFD capacitor (for use with Geckos)
1 x master 20 AMP switch
1 x computer case to serve as the chasis for all the electronics
1 x plug w/ ground
some power wire
1 x bridge rectifier
1 x pack of wire connectors
3 x syringes of thermal compound for heat sinks
all the right capacitors/resistors needed for the wiring
lots of odds & ends -- fuses, switches, wire ties, alligator clips, data plug, etc -- too much to list, but will come in handy when wiring
NOTE: not everything is shown in the photos
