Happy New Year to all! 2013

So lets get right to it. I bought 2 new motors to replace my X,Y axis motors. I for one will not disagree any longer that cheaper will work as good as mo money ones...! Just made a believer out of me. I purchased 2 - 2.8v/ 1.5A motors from www.lulzbot.com and very happy I did. I may go back for a third for the extruder but that will happen when I get a new hot end.  So I went from a hot motor to a very cool motor and it really makes a difference. I'm still trying to get this thing calibrated and hopefully will hit that soon! I'm getting closer. Time is what I lack since I can't spend every minute of the day working with it. You can see the difference in the cheap Ebay motor on the left and the nice chunky one on the right.




Here is a picture of bad motor mojo......



And here is a day 1 picture again and a newer version from today. Its getting better!






One of my very near future plans is to re-build my Y-axis platform. I think I need something more solid and rigid. The current one seems to have vibration occurring which may contribute to my issues.
