Here's what I'm thinking this far:
3- Keling KL- 6050 drivers
2- Nema 34 465 oz/in for X and Y axis
1- Nema 23 425 oz/in for Z
48V 7.3 A power supply.
Given that this machine won't be huge, it probably won't require very much power, right? I know it's overkill, but the Nema 23 motor's torque curves seem to drop clean off the map once they get up to speed.
Any recommendations are most welcome.
