Blue part was I think $86cdn. The grippers were $25cdn each. Now that I have it in hand and see what they did, I can see some things I can change that should make it a little cheaper.
For example If you model impossible chamfers someone will hand file them right to the edge. We don't need none of that silliness. So I guess I need to either model accurately, or make a note "only cnc the chamfers as close as is reasonable"
Ove time I will bring all the small parts in house, but its pretty cool that i can affordably do one offs to start.

Well, that escalated quickly.
Got a servo coming tomorrow to test, it is the same as the stepper online ethercat model, except direct from the factory.
Anyone get the stepper online ethercat servos working nice with linuxcnc yet? I've seen a lot of chat around the lichuan, but not these.
