Hello everyone,
We are happy to present the first Motedis XYZ "kit"
There is no electronics included but the motors, heatbed and power supply are shown in the pictures simply because we thought it would be clearer :)

There is a 3D PDF online here .. where you can see in 3D exactly whats in the kit.

So.. All the hardware is included.. correct length profiles, screws and it's easy to assemble.
The "build/work space volume" is around X 300 x Y 200 x Z 200mm
NOTE : you will need an M5 Tapping bit.. a 5.0mm drill bit and maybe a chamfer bit as well.. a few Hex/Allen keys... but that's it..
We have tried to make it as cheap as possible but included higher quality parts where we think it's needed.
For example... all the T-Nuts have sprung balls so they stay in place and can be "dropped into the profile" where needed .. they're so much nicer (and faster) to assemble with.
Also you get HTD3M 9mm wide belts...Trapezoidal M10 screw, antibacklash Delrin Lead Nut.. thrust bearing, steel guides inside the aluminium profiles.. Gothic bearings and great cable chains.. and a "milled flat" 6mm thick Aluminium plate.. pulleys, guides to suit the wider belt..
It's designed for people that have an "older" machine with NEMA17 motors, Controller board, power supply, wiring etc... who would like to remove their electronics and use them on a new/different machine.
Just remember to change your firmware to a H-Bot configuration.
Of course you can also buy some new electronics, wiring, Nema17 motors and a Power supply.... it's all much cheaper (and a lot easier to get working) these days.
This machine is designed to work with most 3d printer extruder setups, Laser modules or lightweight CNC router like a Dremel or Kress
