DMM DYN2 3 axis plotter project

[kaimaui]

I have started a small project building 3 axis plotter which marks the sail panels to build windsurf sails.
This is my second plotter with my 3rd controller.
this will be 100% belt driven system.
Goal is to to make the whole thing come apart again so it can go to Europe as luggage.
Also final cost i hope will be around 3k
Some picks below.

I wanted to use all DMM parts to make everything go together well.
We Built a Surf Board Shaping machine some time ago with 3 400 watt DMM Motors and DYN 2 drives which has proven to be reliable in a very harsh environment. Very humid dusty ( Hawaii)

I put the whole thing together by following the the DMM you tube video.
My only mistake was that I did not realise the drives for the 100 and 50 watt motors where different to the 400 watt.
I sent an email to Dmm tech support and the got back to me in less then an hour.

The reason I chose acorn control is that i am familiar with it. That centroid offers good support. Easy installation with help of you tube videos. The smoothing.

MY main choice for choosing the DMM was that that i is easy to order on configure.
Cost value is very good. And the easy to follow documentation.

So far so good i will give an update once i have the gantry put together i'm still waiting on some $2 pulleys.

Interesting project Kai. Looking forward to the updates.
I too have been pretty impressed with DMM. Certainly not the cheapest game in town but the support, R&D efforts, and quality so far have made it worth the money.
