Hello!

Time for an update.

So I've done a bit more work on the z axis and you can see progress on this here: https://youtu.be/mWTSq0ZqsLE

But my main focus has been on getting the electrical side started.
Many thanks to Dean and Clive who have both been super helpful and now I think I have a workable circuit diagram which I feel happy to share on here. A word of caution to anyone just getting started, please do not follow this verbatim, there are no-doubt some mistakes / things I will change as I go and as with drawing out the mechanical stuff before you start, you need to do this yourself to get your head around what you are doing. That said, I'm more than happy to receive comments from experienced members, particularly if you spot any dumb mistakes.

I now have, or have on order, all the electrical bits and bobs, cable, ferules etc. apart from the big ticket stuff -the drives and controller which I am leaving as late as possible. I also need to figure out what current rating I will need for the 24V supply.

Really excited to start this part of the build finally!

Cheers everyone.
