CNC hotwire foam cutting machine

[billscottni]

bit the bullet tonight as the pound was at it's strongest against the dollar for some time!

Ordered a hobby cnc foam pro stepper control board for my cnc foamcutter!  
The fun bit will be soldering it together when it arrives, but that will have to wait until the Frogfoot is finished as I need that for the PSS fly in in March :shock:

Only the stepper motors left to buy now, but Joe and Fred put me on to a good supplier for them and then it's all go :?:  :?:

I'll be looking for advice then Joe :wink:

Good stuff Bill. Hope you have a decent soldering iron  :?
I got my motors from the company below. Decent price I think and pretty quick service. I believe Fred got motors here too. I use 4 unipolar Sanyo Denki motors (4pap_uni1a). You'll find them under CNC accessories. Check that unipolar motors will work with your board. They also have bipolar motors available if needed.

Thanks Joe.
Will wait until the board arrives abd then order the motors. Pretty sure I need them at a late stage of the soldering to check a few things

Stepper motors ordered today from Technimaniacs. That's all the hardware either here or ordered.

No excuses now :?:  :?:  :?:
