Part substitutions:
Additions:
- For overheating problems
- Use thermal paste in between the heatsinks on all the electronics, normaly found at computer part stores
- Add Small computer memory heatsinks to the heatsink on the Stepper Driver board
- Add 40mm fans near/top of the heatsinks on the Stepper Driver board
Mounting location:
- You can build a small box out of acrylic or wood and mount all the electronic boards in side. Then You can add several computer fans to the box to help the Integrated circuits remain cool. This has several benefits.
- Help solve overheating problems.
- Help prevent short circuits.
- Stop children/pet from messing with electronics
- It looks nicer than a bunch of electronics just jumbled on a table
- You can also mount them on a sheet of wood.
