Update time!

Rails etc haven't arrived yet so I've been busy getting my garage ready. It was empty before, so I've built a workbench and put it on it's own RCBO protected ring. I also got my workshop PC set up:



My steppers/drivers have arrived so I began creating my box of electrickery! :dance: These are all terrible photos by the way (taken on camera phone with a sprinkling of couldn't be arsed) I don't have any progress photos just the almost finished box:



My homemade 24v/5v power supply for the cooling fans and breakout board:

This shot shows the almost finished box except for the cooling fans because they haven't arrived yet. The stepper drivers have been bolted to the case and are covered in thermal paste where they make contact. You can also see my line laser on this shot, which is going to be for my 3D scanner project. Fans + Filters will be attached on the outside.



I'm still waiting on the breakout board and E-stop switch, which will be fitted in/on this case.

I've used glands and filters on all openings to keep dust out. The only possible place for dust to get in is the brush plate at the bottom, it will keep 99.9% of the dust out though so i'm happy.

I've also got a homebrew temperature sensor gizmo, that will let me know if the case is getting too hot. I doubt this will happen because, erm, well, it just won't! :)

Also, I've only got a baby pillar drill so I couldn't get the case under to drill those 60mm holes... they were a pain in the Harris to cut by hand and my baby walty almost burned out!

Thankya, goodnight, much lav!
