NEMA 17 -type steppers have been picked up locally and placed where gantry/slides/gimbal for dynamic moulding has my design "optimize" their number and position. Four stackable motor shields from a company that shall forever remain nameless are being wired for control of the EIGHT motors in this subsystem. An alternating blade shaft and motor from a common 450 W food processor/blender will serve as one unit in an array of three within another, chopping-preprocessing system. Any sort of substantial build for the Maker Faire in which I'm registered for tomorrow seems more and more likely to disappoint the kiddies...

I have to keep pushing for them!
