Ok, i said i would wait and get a job before starting my build, but i have so much time to print now that i’m home 24/7!
So, i’m starting a list, checking it twice and will start printing and procuring parts…
I have a lowrider already that i use for BIG things, but i really want to make that even bigger and hide it in the ceiling and have an MPCNC for ‘day to day’ tasks.
I self sourced the lowrider, and will do the same for the Primo. I also provided Aliexpress links then and will do the same now
I will also put in a link to donate to Ryan if you decide to use my links and sell source, and i will throw a few bucks his way also.
Anywho, PARTS LIST! Most of this is stuff i used for my lowrider, and am very happy with, so will use the same sellers/links again!
PLA in tons of colours!
17HS8401 Steppers 78Oz-in
GT2-10 Belt
16T W10 B5 Pulley
20T W10 B5 without T Idler
6A 24V PSU
608-2RS Bearings they even colour match
300mm Pitch 2mm Lead 8mm Leadscrew
5x8 coupler
Silicone Lube
SKR 1.4 with TMC2209 drivers I just like the SKR over the rambo etc. Personal preference!
Other stuff;
LCD, TFT or the older 128x64 LCD, pick your poison…
12864 LCD the original
TFT35 LCD replaces original screen and should hopefully fit the same case
WiFi Module add easy wifi jogging to the CNC. This plugs into the SKR1.4 or the TFT35 LCD
Motor cables, i will make my own, but there are some premade ones too
6mm and 10mm Braid to pretty uyp the build
Premade Cables 2m and 1m cables to shorten/lenghten as needed, or use as is. These have the right plugs for the SKR and the steppers. You may have to swap a couple pins over though from memory.
DIY JST XH 6Pin
DIY JST XH Kit Has 4 way for motor cable and 3 and 2 for endstops and fans as well
DIY 4 core 22awg shielded cable shielded is harder to work with, but much better if you use it right
DIY 4 pin ribbon cable same as the premade cables if you dont want to deal with shielded cable
My total for the Components added up to ~$270 USD. Same stuff from Ryan direct is only ~$30 more, so buying from him would be the way to go if he has the stock and you are happy with his controller options etc! That way you supprt him, get all the stuff in one order, and dont have to wait for the slow boat from china!!!
If you source yourself, maybe throw him the $30 you saved as a thank you?
I havent included hardware in that list, as its way cheaper for me to get that locally… so didnt get aliexpress links. If you’re in NZ, check out fasttrade! they have a killer website and fantastic service and great prices!
The M3s, M5s and M8s with locknuts in 304 STAINESS in 100 pack of each, is $42 USD. Actually cheaper than zinc, so why not and getting 100 of each isnt a problem right? everyone loves some extra nuts and bolts!
I hope that lists helps some people, im putting it up to help keep a list for myself also so i can buy bits as money becomes available… No more job thanks to Covid with a baby on the way… yay!
