I always feel like its Christmas time when I get parts in the mail. So I got the power supply, the extruder, the stepper controller, drivers, and a bunch of other stuff that I may or may not need. I’ll post more pics and comments as I start to put it together, here’s some pics of what I got.
I got my Hexy the hexapod kit from the kickstarter finally, maybe 6 months late. Reasonable in kickstarter terms. Anyhoo I decided to put it together last night. The build process was pretty straight forward, however towards the end when you get into like mounting the battery pack / routing wires / etc things get a little sketchy. I guess my biggest gripe right now would be with the power, I need to order some lithium/nimh cells or do a custom battery pack or something. Alkalines aren’t goint to cut it. I was a little sad not to have gotten much movement out of it. I even hooked it up to my bench power supply but it maxxed it out at 3A and still just failed.
