I've been recommended to buy an unregulated supply of around 60-70v. I'm guessing that a 10A supply will be enough to drive all three motors (the Z axis requires very little power). Can anyone recommend a supplier or a method of construction.

While I currently have just 3 axes but might want to increase to 5 although the 4th and 5th will need lower power motors.
Ok I am in Spain after a bit of vino But here is a link http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/ps80...er-supply.html but you could build your own for nearly half the price with bits from Rapid on line. https://www.rapidonline.com/electronic-components
