Hello All,
Some time ago I have built 1200x700mm machine and it was pretty clear what electronics, mechanics and other items to use. Now, some time has passed - I have decided to build small, desktop machine (approx 400x400mm). But facing challenge - what electronics to use. My pc's does not have parallel ports anymore - is there decent USB BOB, or should I use motion controller connected to BOB ? What BOB should I use, what motion controller should I use (if needed at all). I want to have reliable machine so I could cut wood, aluminium, etc.
Any input, advice would be much appreciated :)
Here is some pic's and video from my previous build:
