Today I completed the mechanical assembly of the Tantillus. It turns out that the normal nema17 kysan steppers are indeed too large. I have some others on order which should hopefully be here tomorrow. I’m going to use the ramps 1.2 that is currently on my prusa1. That one already has an sdramps on it and the headers on it for the LCD. The 1.75 bowden adapter looks like its going to work. We’ll see once I get started. I did need to reprint one part today, but that is pretty minor. I’m currently debating on swapping the printed lm8uus out for real ones, but I’m still on the fence. Tomorrow I’ll get the ramps 1.2 installed and the hot end wired up.
