MBE Extruder v9 with 12v heater cartridge
PID Digital Temperature Controller
25a SSR DC-DC Relay and HeatSink
Computer Power Supply, ATX or Dell Optiplex power supply brick, I have both.
A Chinese 4-Axis blue CNC controller box, uses TB6560 chips, has individual driver cards
6" X 6" Heatbed PCB 12v ---- Will get later
Borosilicate glass plate, 6" X 6" ---- Will get later
I had got the blue Chinese CNC controller box for my Shapeoko 2, but then I found out that its prone to failure and is not designed correctly, one of the members of cnczone.com listed some fixes, and I did most of them, I had to move around a few SMD resistors, replace a SMD capacitor, and add some TVS Diodes, another thing I disliked about the blue Chinese CNC controller box is the lack of info about the jumpers on the driver cards, but I was able to figure it out.
I hope to use the forth axis of the blue Chinese CNC controller box for the extruder stepper, and use the PID Digital Temperature Controller, SSR Relay, and Computer Power Supply to power and control the extruder's heater cartridge.
I want to use Mach3, but I also have LinuxCNC installed, I wonder whats easier to use for this setup.
I plan on bolting the MBE Extruder to the Bosch Colt CNC Mount and leaving it installed.
Any tips or suggestions
