                             Sync wi r e s                                 Figure 5.22
                                                                           Connector at interface
                                                                           end of driver cables.

















          Use two computer power supplies, one to power the boards and
          motors on the y- and z-axes, plus another to power the boa rd and
          motor of the x-axis and the case fan. Because the hard drive and
          floppy bay were removed, the two power supplies fit nicely in the
          case, as you can see in Figu re 5.23.

                                                                           Figure 5.23
                                                                           Power supplies inside
                                                                           box.























          Cut a hole in the panel the power supplies, as in Figure 5.24, to
          allow the power cords to be plugged in. Turn the switches on and
          tuck the wires you won't use aro und the power supplies.

                                                                                           129
