The Y-Axis Motor

The Y-Axis Motor


Issues 8 - 11

These four issues build sections were all based on the Y-Axis motor

First up is the motor control board.




Then the power supply. Just the power supply. I'm not writing a lot in this blog in general, so I can't really say much more ... it's a power plug.



Here's the y-axis runner cover.



The all important motor. This makes stuff move! ( If you didn't know ;) )




Sorry (or you might be relieved) but no pictures of fitting the motor and drive belt. Camera screwed up.

The motor control board fits into the test board from the previous issues. After plugging in the cables we can test the motor runs all right.




Here it is all running





To finish off the ruuner build for now we need to complete the enclosure.





Done, for now. Not sure what will be next. I wait with baited breath.

Oh, and the shadow at the bottom corner of most of the pics? I knwo what it is so I can avoid it in the future. I can't be hooped editing and putting the pictures back up, so I'll just have to live with it.
