Im not trying to start a fight, Im just making a statement. |
Wow...no hostility from my side. I'm not trying to fight. Sorry if my tone made it sound that way...it was not my intention.
And, as to small motors, remember...I only found this forum a little over 2 weeks ago, and my first question was: "Is it possible to hook up a Dremel to my old HP pen plotter?" Boy have I come a long way!
It's a testament to this site and the knowledge contained in its members and their posts. Seriously...I started knowing zero about any of this, and now I'm designing my own CNC mill.
And yes sounds like you got a good deal. |
As to getting a good deal...I just delivered that guy's LASER printer, along with an extra toner cartridge, extra RAM chip, and extra paper tray scavenged from a related model printer that I took apart.
He gave me double our agreed on price, since I brought extra parts...a pleasant surprise. I've actually managed to gather parts, AND make a profit at the same time! :-) When projects go like that, it's REALLY fun!
He got a good deal, too...it was a very nice printer...one complete one out of 2 parts machines.
I live for the art of the deal -- I think it's in my genes!
If you would like some plans for a unipolar board ,just give me a email and ill send you some I found off the net a year ago. It has everything you need to build it. even a list of materials. |
Now...plans for a board. This sounds useful -- I'll send you a PM with my email.
I have learned alot by building the last 2 machines. I am also learning that it is better to buy the parts you really need then try to make them out of hardware store parts. |
Well, I've been "inspired" by Cranky and his harware store CNC site. Of course, person that I am, I can't just buy plans and build someone else's design -- I have to do it myself. The good part about it is that I learn a lot more that way!
