I'm in Melbourne and just starting as well.
I have limited skills and knowledge and so I am struggling with fundamentals that many take for granted.
At this point, I have a frame that enables manual x axis movement of a router. It is a hobby frame but rigid (no slop). I am building very cheap and have sourced bearings, assembly parts (meccano), threaded rod (1/2 inch bsf I think), stepper motors (secondhand), Usb stepper motor driver for 3 motors (x,y,z) and I am still hunting pulley wheels.
I have hopefully anticipated many problems but am still coming to terms with things like backlash.
Where are you at and what is your background and motivation?
Regards
