Bought someone's failed hot wire foam cutter project (it used full extension, ball bearing drawer slides) for $20 to get the four NEMA 23, 85 oz-in dual shaft motors.
Got the motors off, going to put the drawer slides on the yard sale tomorrow. Any reccomends on a really inexpensive way to drive these 6 wire motors? I have a bunch of 40/40 T-slot extrusion ($2.49 foot at a surplus company) with connectors that fit into the ends *and* inside corner brackets so it'll make a very rigid frame. I am thinking about a 3D printer, but I'll want the thing built very rigid. I recently saw a Solidoodle 3 in action. Not much impressed! The build platform is only supported on one side and I could see it wiggle, which appeared to harmonically combine with the motor motion to produce a visible waviness to the edges of every layer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
