First Build Hiwin slide CoreXY. Need help selecting electrical parts. (79 replies)

Hi everyone! My name is Patrick and I have some questions, most of which will be asked in the next post.....

I need to make some of the decisions NOW though so I can size my printer and order the parts that will take a long time.

Things I need as soon as possible so I can get exact measurements and calculate frame and other part sizes:

1. Find Z axis stepper motor and order. Must be REALLY short but can be NEMA 23 to make up lost torque. Suggestions?
2. Must pick hot end and order. E3D-V6 or Prometheus V2 or ????? Suggestions?
3. Must find best cheap supplier for Hiwin MGN7C or similar rail & slides, and order. Suggestions?
4. Find and buy a good and cheap ball & screw with over 225mm travel. Suggestions?

Already ordered / Already have:

1. 215x215mm Hotbed
2. 2020 extruded aluminum frame.
3. Drive Belt and 16 tooth pulley wheels.

Decided items:

1. First trial build will use a 215mmX215mm hotbed because that is the most common and least expensive heated bed. Later version will have larger beds.
2. Basic frame is Misumi 2020 aluminum extrusion that I already have.
3. X and Y axis are going to be HIWIN or similar flat linear rails. Something like MGN7C size.
4. Z axis stepper motor needs to be SHORT to fit design. maybe NEMA 23 to compensate torque.
5. Z axis will be ball and screw actuated.

I am going to reserve this post for future use to list chosen parts and link to pictures of build.

Go ahead and read the next post for the question details!!...

Thank you and good to be here!!!
