I think, however, that steppers are going to be nothing more than a stage on the journey. The DC gear motor plus encoder scheme that Adrian just built and blogged is where things are going to go, I suspect. You can reprap 98% of one and the motor itself costs about a dollar. They'll also consume hardly any electricity at all compared to what you need to keep a stepper going.plaasjaapiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00240780042458014636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-1138335899904360622006-01-27T04:24:59.903Z2006-01-27T04:24:59.903Zcoool!<BR/><BR/>those look so sweet!<BR/><BR/>i cant wait to see how you guys put them to use.<BR/><BR/>can i be the first reprap fanboy?<BR/><BR/>~ZachZach Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08854274609990572154noreply@blogger.com
