I don not know anything about how to run stepper motor so please show me path where to start....?

Hello friends,

With great hope I have joined this community. I am mechanical engineer and I am really tempted to learn how to make my own 3d printer. But the problem is I am new to electronics things, Please guide me how to start building my first 3d printer, and where to start? What model of reprap I should approach first. Please Help me I am really alone in this new techno field, I really wants to have knowledge of the stepper and servo motor control please help me buid my first printer. Show me the right way to approach quickly...

I wish God may bless you all a lot for your brighter futures,Please make some approach to teach me.

Hoping for positive answers...

Thanking you,
Nirav Chudasama

i would think an engineer would be capable of designing and building a machine from no plans at all.......

Go for a kit. Best place to start if you have no clue what you are looking for. I purchased the 8" prusa i3 from makerfarm. It has relatively good build instruction videos on youtube. Good luck.

This part of the wiki will tell you everything, from how stepper motors work, to how repraps work.

I'd read all that first.

Yup, this would be a good way. I started with a kit too and from there you can learn about the individual parts. Just make sure you get a quality kit, it would be a big problem if you start with a badly designed kit and have to deal with all the stuff that you are not familiar with.

Many thanks to all of you... Especially Daves. I got the way for healthy and quick start.
