[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

Sun Oct 23 21:41:05 UTC 2011

Ok, I am defeated.

I have found a few motors,

Think this one is not good enough?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-NEMA-17-Stepper-Motor-ETS535-0-9-deg-4-2V-/180740649234?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item2a14fb7112

I think this one will do, it does seem like over kill.

Or we could get the whole kit.

https://xyzprinters.com/electronics/136-prusa-all-you-need-electronics-kit.html

seems like a good deal? By the time we have bought all the bits?

What do people think.

p.s. we have another meet up this Thursday.

thanks

kieran
