"New kit" BOM with sources
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:03 pm
(This is moved from the http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1328 thread to prevent hijacking. There'll probably be a fair few updates to this as I go along...)
To recap:
So, I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but since Bart is changing things up a bit, I thought I'd try and figure out what was still needed, and what was now to be sourced externally...
All I did was go to the BOM page (http://www.buildlog.net/cnc_laser/erp/bom.html), empty the selection criteria, and start to look at the shopping list. Then I started to look at what the costs would be now that we don't get to mooch off of Bart and get just what we need. The results are at http://0x0000ff.com/laser/ - you can see what's in the new kit from Bart, what we have sources for (with links), and what I haven't yet (I haven't tried too hard) found any source for.
There's also a few things in there that I think are in addition to the original BOM (all marked with the part prefix SJG_), and a couple that can be deprecated (buy the lightObject mirror bundle and you presumably don't need individual mirrors/mounts...) There's also a running cost at the bottom, assuming you're like me and starting from scratch
If anyone has sources that I've marked as missing, I'd much appreciate a link, and I'll keep the list up-to-date. Similarly, if there's something missing, or I've screwed something up with the power of my pure blinding ignorance, I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction I'm going to have to find all of these somehow anyway, and it'll presumably come in useful for others in future, if I can keep it current.
There's also now a http://0x0000ff.com/laser/changelog.html Changelog and the document is versioned (with appropriate credits to those who help out - hint hint ) If you have part numbers from the packages that Bart already sent you, I'd love to see them...
Cheers
Simon
