Controller box IO panels

Input output panels for the steppers and the proximity sensors. First, a quick drawing based on the Bulgin connectors and the DB25 for the parallel cable to the computer. The A axis is for future use, so I made a knock-out version on a separate panel. Thinned the 3/32`aluminum slightly for the DB connector with a 1/2" end mill. Finding a mono-line font for the engraving was more challenging than I thought it would be - there aren't many good ones out there and for some reason, the scaling would get screwed up during the import of the DWG into the CAM software... 








Connectors used for the steppers and proximity sensors:

Available from Mouser.

Three positions used for the prox sensors and four for the steppers.

Not the most robust things in the world. Step on them and they break!
