where to start

[TrickyCNC]

if it's that far along, then I can't see what you have to loose ?

Get some decent drivers and motors with a view to the future, and put it all together.

You can use it to build an enclosure for the elctronics, and use it to make the MkII if you decide you need to.

That's what I am doing now Richard but having had the doubts put in my mind & being completely new to all this I wasn't sure at the time of posting if it was worth the time it would take to finish it. If I hadn't made the post & just soldiered on with it I would already have made the mistake of buying electronics that would probably not have migrated well so at least saved myself a fair bit on that side.
Not actually sure what I will be able to use it for as far as constructing a MKII is concerned as the new machine would need to be a better & stronger design but I will look at that again when the time comes. By then I would expect to have learnt a lot more about design & construction from places like this.
