I am new here too !
I was posting on another site but it was very dead to say the least.
I'm building my first 12X36 INCH machine out of mdf.
I'd like to see pictures of what you are building sounds interesting.

I have than done now just need to drill the holes for the bottom dowels and bolts , the top is done . When I get this done I need to work on cross members on the bottom of gantry that will attach to the lead screw nut.

My real challenge begins when I map out the electronics although I have a few components I don't know enough about the controls to even think about starting . Where can I find help ?
If I post pictures of what I have collected so far can someone advise ?
Here is a picture of the machine so far.













these are some pictures of the stepper motor components I have trying to figure what else I need next for a power suppy(s) any help would be great.

If anyone has an electronics plan to share using components I have would really be appreciated.
