4x6 Cutting area 80/20, sourcing parts. | | As the title says I'm starting to source parts for an 80/20 build that will have a cutting area of 4'x6'. I already have some parts like 3 Nema 34 960 oz/in stepper motors. I also have 3 Gecko G203V's to drive these steppers. I still need to pick up or build an adequate power supply though. I think I'll do the outsides of my table out of 3060 and then do the inner bracing and what not out of either 3030 or 2040.
One thing I'm not sure on is if I can get away with using a ball screw for the 6ft length? A lot of the other details I'm still working out.
Of course I'm open to suggestions. Unless there is a R&P kit out there I don't have many tools to really fabricate the brackets. Would I need to use a bigger ball screw? I think I may use some of the DIY linear bearing assemblies here on the forums although linear rails aren't out of the question just yet. |
