Assembly continues

Fitting the X-axis ball screws with bearing blocks and NEMA 23 270 oz/in steppers on each side.  The aluminium covering was added as a dust cover.
Positioning the second rail parallel to the first.

First drive of the screws with the laptop.

Looking at our gantry design options.


Concepts for mounting the Y-axis linear bearings.  Getting the bearings as far apart as possible will help with machine rigidity.


Our 300w Ryobi trimming router with 1/4" collet that we had laying around.  This was used prior to upgrading.
