I'm guessing something like this http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/elec...er-supply.html


Yeah these things can snowball, one more expensive item leads to another and so on... reality is most of us are working to a budget so you need to figure out what you are willing to spend and what will be sufficient for your needs.

If budget is starting to pinch, I would also take a look at what areas it's best to put your money into initially. Might be an idea to go for the better controller (e.g. the CSMIO IP/M mentioned above) and just make do with the cheaper steppers until you feel the need to upgrade.

Ultimately of course you end up spending more by buying cheap then replacing, but reality is it gets you up and running in the mean time.
