Haven't made a bracket for the controller yet but the system is not operational. I'd still like to try microstepping but so far it runns well. Need to figure how I want to route the wires and such though.
@RAStemen01 I got the steppers from sparkfun.com and the gears are from a local hobbystore and are really the main gear for a very large model helicopter. The hinge assembly I made on my lathe so it is quite heavily constructed with large bearings. (I think the inner hole of the bearings are 12mm to give an idea of scale.)
Where did you get your steppers and gears from if you don't mind my asking?
