Well I have started the ball rolling and it will be interesting to see where it stops! I Finally got my but onto ebay and brought stepper motors. Not bad I only paid 20 euros for all three. BUT then I realized I had made my life alot more complicated.
I brought BIpolar Steppers. Which means that the controller is going to be a bit more complex. Then I brought the wrong chips, then the rights chips and then some other chips that would be right but are far more complex to use than I ever imagined.
Anyway's the truth be told I am really looking forward to getting started and I have already drawn up my X stage in Sketchup.
So far I have a list of sites which all prove usefull in their own was and will add them below.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Three-Axis-CNC-Machine-Cheaply-and-/ - OK this was the instructable that got me going.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy_To_Build_Stepper_Controller_from_a_Recycled_M/ - The final straw if a 13 year old can get something like this running then why not me!
http://www.instructables.com/id/ERR3TG3683EV0FBB8K/ - Insteresting Instructable about stepper motors.
By the way as you can see I love instructables. The upside down tomatoes are great ;-)
