[Swansea Hackspace] Stepper Motors

I see the concern, not sure what to think there.

I'm sure others who would not want 10 motors would buy the rest, I know I could not afford to buy 10 in one go myself.


No animals were harmed in the making of this email. However, several thousand electrons were severely inconvenienced.

I’m a bit concerned that could be viewed as a conflict of interest (being a director of the hackspace, even though we’re a non-profit). Not too sure about the rules though.
