Revised shopping list is here. A couple of notes about that
1) Power supply perhaps is slightly undersize. Thought to trial and see.
2) Need two (2) of the Nema 23 -motors WITHOUT the rear shaft
- Need one (1) --------------//----------------- WITH the rear shaft (Z-axis, will attach hand wheel there)
3) Items 12, 14 -- 19 not sure where to source from, have not found yet
4) Bearing housings / fittings ---> DIY ?
