Tidy liitle machine (Andrej knows his stuff!) - are you going to put a front cover plate to protect your X axis? ....that first video you linked to the swarf there is brutal & it will surely prematurely wear out your moving parts.

Honestly, I anodized them because I like the finish. Holes are bigger after anodization, but It is not a big deal since they are bigger for 0.02mm or less. Preventively I protected internal threads with silicone plugs.

It is interesting that bigger parts are darker and thicker anodized. I should ask anodizing guy why.



HankMcSpank: Yes, I am looking for a way to protect moving parts from dust and oil.

I have to make a decision about drivers.

PoLabs PoStep60-256 vs. Leadshine M542 V2.0

Motors: http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/elec...per-motor.html

What do you guys think?

I would go with Postep as, you could buy the board, the drivers, 3nm motors and the PSU from them, Unfortunately they sold all drives so they said in something like 3 weeks.

Hughhhh, 20 euro less????? Or just they still have not made the actual price, selling old batch. Then grab them cause at Pokeys site are 64 euro http://www.poscope.com/PoStep60-256

I wonder if not to grab 4 at that price.

These are the same drivers. They have been on the market since March or April.
