Sigma 3D Printer and My Quest to Build It

Hi,

I am a newbie who has always been interested in 3D printers but was reluctant to buy one, intimidated by the required technical knowledge. However, I have decided to bite the bullet and purchased a 3D printer kit recently from a local manufacturer based in Turkey. It is the second unit they have produced, so they are just getting in the businness. This is and will be a complete adventure for me as I have never performed any DIY type of work previously. I'll try to document everything related to the kit and its assembly. I'll also try to introduce basic concepts which, I think and hope, will be useful for beginners like me.

Here's the link: http://www.3dprinterblog.org

I am open to suggestions and advice.

Thanks....

Hi,

I have added a blog entry about the motors used in the kit and also motors in general.
