Hey JavaDog,
Yeah, it is the same MJPA transformer. What I don't know is if you wire transformers in series do you cut the amps then? I am thinking of mounting the Geckos on the axis to keep the wire motors very short but am concerned about the dust and dirt getting into them. I could also just build a box like the one CNCRob got. I think if K2 routed the box with X Y Z and their name that would of looked really cool
Heck, he can just route it himself now. If I make one I am thinking of making it with the clear polycarbonate sheets. I will have to see.
My biggest concern is making a new table for it, getting an enclosure made, mostly KEEPING this thing and the basement clean. Somehow I see chips of material ending up all over the house.
I will try to cut something today. I notice the X axis needs to be tightened (the end nuts need to be tightened). I think I also need to tweak the mount that mounts to the X and Y ballscrews. The Z axis seems dead on but I have not measured it yet.
I need to figure out how many steps I need for 1 mm movement (Gecko microstepping)... any ideas before I start throwing numbers out?
thanks!
