Bingy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Si, at the risk of sounding really cheeky, could you include the current ebay item numbers on your BOM ? I assume a few of us will all buy from there and i'll also assume that most of us haven't put something together like this before - so would make life that little bit easier and probably save you some pm's Thanks for all your work, it's much appreciated. Gordon +1 on all the above Not keen on putting the ebay item numbers in the BOM as they will only be current for a max of a week - and maybe as little as a day. I wonder if there is another option like title or what to search for? If I'm going to do it, I'd rather not have to do it twice (or more!) Si Understand about not wanting to do it more than once. Just trying to think of a way so that it's easy for all to get the same / correct. G Would there be any chance of some pictures of the parts that we need to buy. I appreciate that is time consuming for you, but i tried to list the description in the BOM in ebays search and for a power supply i get a few choices all with the same description. Some range from a printer/laptop power supply to led/cctv power supplies All are 24v 400w 16A Power supplies However, the stepper motor, board set is still active, so at least we are singing from the same song sheet with those parts Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 OK - I'll find a text string for each which will only yield appropriate (or clearly inappropriate) results in an eBay search. This should have greater longevity than a list of links which I would have to update weekly at the very least! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Apparently the laser cutting will be delivered between tomorrow & Thursday - fingers crossed! What I'll do is PM the people who expressed interest (on order) with a price & PayPal address if that's OK? No obligation to take up the offer - I'll just keep offering the next on the list & so on until they're all gone! A few people said they need to wait until they are paid etc. No worries, just PM me back & I'll hang on to it as required.

simonr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Updated BOM with eBay links. For the majority of items, just search for the description if the ebay links are out of date. Where eBay does not come up with the goods, AliExpress has. I'll probably make a complete BOM from AliExpress as the links last longer.

zim Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks Si, With regards to the stepper motor driver : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191479002970 Do we need 3 of the above, or am i correct in thinking only 1 ? OR : 3 x http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-efficiency-CNC-Router-Mill-Lathe-1Axis-TB6600HG-Stepping-Motor-Driver-Board-/351283388174?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item51ca1f1f0e 1 x http://www.cnc4you.co.uk/Breakout%20board%20KK01%20CNC%20Stepper%20Motor%205%20Axis-with-Relay Which would you say is the simplest way for us ? I know you linked to simply bearings, but whilst on ebay i ordered these bearings : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161005813647?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&var=460165749308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edit : Well i'm keeping royal mail in business for the next few days ! The parts ordered (not including steel or 3 x TB6600HG) have come to about £400. That is having ordered all my fasteners from screwfix where they come in packs of 50 / 100.

simonr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 For the stepper driver link - it includes a breakout board (same one I'm using) so seemed fair value. I'll draw up a wiring diagram for that board as the instructions are less than obvious! However, any 5A bipolar drivers and breakout board will do. Robert's issues were because he was running the drivers on 48v which is too close to their 50v limit. At 24v they are fine! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 That's 9 PM's sent - one kit remaining if anyone else wants one! Like I said in the PM - there is no obligation if you have second thoughts. I have no doubt I'll be able to shift the remainder fairly easily.

WHO4 MUD Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Picked up my box of bits on thursday and saw simon and the original, i was real impressed by the design and plating was spot on. Really looking forward to getting it running. So thanks again simon and everyone on here for making this sort or thing happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why did I miss this.........I would be interested in the next run Simon if there is a next, just bare in mind I am in Australia so shipping will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Rangy85 - I still have 3 left from this run. If you want to get a quote for shipping, go to http://www.interparcel.com My Postcode is RH12 1SB - and if you set a destination of Australia it should give a quote to send with a variety of carriers. Make sure you enter your postcode as rates vary for different bits of Auz - and you only find out when you enter the code. I would prefer to ship with UPS if possible as I've had the least issues with them. FedEx are not too bad either. PM Me if you want to go ahead!

Ruuman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well I have a nice box of shiny bits sitting on my desk, almost seems a shame to cover them in plasma dross! Looking forward to getting it built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zim Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Si, you've used a little micro switch on the Z. Can you list a part number for this, as I assume the bracket has been made to fit this ? Thanks Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
