    John,
    You're right about not being able to build one for that price. In fact the same unit got even cheaper this week when the seller slashed shipping cost by half ($US124 less than I paid). Add the continuing improvement in the $A vs $US and I would have saved a further $A150 buying this week :exclaim:

    The controller is pretty basic - see photos . Fortunately I have a spare Gecko G540 controller and a 48v power supply so an upgrade is likely. I just need to find out some info on the steppers, the only marking is 57BYGH636
