Well... need to say...

Disaster

Something went wrong ....

There was a tiny leak.

It leaked on the surface of Xaxis... it sucked inbetween the gantry and bed...

I did make preparations to prevent this.

I sprayed wd40 inbetween before pouring.

So nothing could stick.. worked only partially.

I needed a hammer an chisel to separate the gantry from the bed.

1 side of the x bed surface delaminated from the steel ....destroyed .

So deep breath ... cleanup and do it once more...


Grtz Bert.

Need to start buying some quality measurement tools help with aligning the rails.

And i am hoping piano wire can help with aligning...

I have some quality 140cm 8040 profile that can be used with straightening stuff.

Bouyan said one needs a 1000mm straight edge and machinist squares..
He is right i think...

Bom ordered BST Fred.

Anyone with experience from NL here?

I am curious about how this will work with dutch customs..
I understand carrier will report to tax administration..
My estimation is about 27% extra cost.
21 vat 5 import and some minor handling cost.

Guess i will pay tax and handling cost to carrier..

Well i am not sure yet.. fedex delivered... i paid Fred... But i have not been taxed yet..



I guess it will be in the +/- 1300.- euro range.

I understand sometimes you pay tax in the country where goods enter EU.

That would be belgium..

Top Z carriage position.


Hi guys..

I am doing 15mm plywood test fit for all Z axis alu plates before ordering.


Where did you mount your top carriage?

High or low? And why?
