My first couple of questions are:
- Which do you think is best? Stepper motors or servo motors? |
Servos are "best", but steppers are far cheaper and far more practical for what it sounds like you want to do. If you have the spare money, however, servos would be better for PCB's. But be prepared to spend a few hundred extra.
- Is a working space of 300mm x 200mm possible for a home machine? |
Well, considering that a lot of us have tables exceeding 1 meter, I'm pretty sure your's is possible
