Metal Maslow kit $600 ships Nov. Respond below if interested

When I was selling kits we used to ship them with a list of everything that was supposed to be in the box so that it was easy to check that nothing was missing. I think if you ask you could probably get something like that to double check.

Bar,
I’m really interested in doing this but am wondering about the rectifier availability. Do you have a source or recomendation for a particular manufacturer? All I can find are knock-offs who’s quality is questionable.

…and Thru Hole. I really am bad a surface mount

best to call if you have having issues. I find people that call get up and runnign faster than email communication. Have not checked these forums for a couple of months sorry for late reply.

The rectifier? Do you mean the motor driver chips?

Yeah, sorry.

I meant the TLE5206 driver chips. Sometimes how I think of things vs. what they should be called gets away from me. :slight_smile:

The part from Infineon is obsoleted and I’m looking for a suitable through hole replacement. I’ve found alot of sources on ebay and Allie Express but not sure how reliable they are. I was hoping that if anyone that had decent experience with an alternate would share their source.

Eastbay uses the TB6643 and I think that is through-hole. You might check out that one.

Sent an email at metalmaslow.com but not heard back. Looking to buy but I want to make sure you have stock before I do.

So after digging into this a little, the Toshiba chips use a different pin out. Unless im reading the cutsheet wrong. So i may end up having to modify the board design. Which should be fun because ive never designed a PCB before.

It’s actually a pretty fun process. If you need help modifying it I’m happy to help.

thanks bar, i sent you a DM. Im going to take you up on your offer.

Did you ever get your missing parts? I too have been raising MONTHS for my missing parts. @Spenc

Sites been down for while. Anyone have some documents or 3D files of the Metal Maslow? Finally got around to building it years too late. Hoping to build an all 8020 Frame with Core XY kinematics.

Did you try the way back machine on archive dot org?
