[Ultimaker 2 build - Electronics]

The suggestions from everyone are very useful! I was thinking arduino but the more I look into it, the easier it may be to find an ebay clone but they would probably be a lot more expensive.

Thanks for linking me to the information.

I have been using the UM2 sourcefiles on github but I suppose it doesnt matter if I use the exact same dimensions of stepper motor.

 

I found what I was looking for; http://www.3dp2go.com/threaded-shaft-nema17-stepper-motor-with-tr88-leadscrew-p-185.html?zenid=rtajoq73ru6s42ot34l7ceokt5

Has anyone ordered from this website before?

Im just about to have a go at building the UM2 from scratch but didnt realise how difficult it would be to source parts!

I can find alternatives for the main board, however I would really like to use to same motors as UM2.

Ive seen similar but the size I cant find is 42mm wide by 38mm deep!

Does anyone know where I can get the stepper motors and also the z axis stepper with built in lead screw? (im in the UK)

Thanks
