got the rfq from my local waterjet company - ain'tt going to be chep - for metal parts $400 - not that much, but not like i have that much in my pockets right now
need to wait at least till monday anyway
one way or the other i'll go for it - electronic part will be piece of cake for me so no other costs as for basic components here
i wonder if i should get into microstepping or not - this will be microprocessor based anyway, so i'm limited only by my imagination (and board size
)
