I wish I knew more about the maths of this stuff currently but it'll come in due course I'm sure.

In the meantime though, I think I spotted something of a bargain that might be perfect for what I need for the X2 to get started, with 3 options I'm pondering on. Yes I was going to try on the dirt cheap with the steppers I've got but these kits are cheaper than I thought, and viglink sent me a few Ł earlier today that helps so I'm thinking it may be best to just get a kit with all the bits needed from the outset.

I found this first kit for Ł110 inc 3x 270oz steppers, driver board, and PSU delivered.
The 270oz steppers should be ok from what I've seen but I'm not hugely keen on the single combined driver board & how good it'd be. Plus I don't know if 270 is enough for my Z axis. I do have an air ram fitted so I'm guessing so but still....

So more realistically there are these two:

3x 435oz steppers, 3x driver boards, breakout board & 2x PSUs - $299

3x 425oz steppers, 3x drivers, breakout board & psu - $319

Wanted to do it cheap (in my nature) but these kits look great value and I'm thinking I should bite the bullet here.
What I'm curious about is why the kit with the higher power steppers (435 over 425oz) is cheaper and includes 2x PSUs instead of a single one in the dearer kit. Have I missed something?!

Appreciate comments on these - they look just the ticket and am VERY tempted, but don't want to be rash. Not too rash anyway...
