Ok here's a few pics....

Main 70v PSU with 24v safety system and 5V for BOB mounted on a temporary board.


Frame layout. 60mmx60mmx5mm frame for rails with 100mmx100mmx4mm for the upright frame. One side fell over while i was realigning the other side and flattened me!


X rotating ball nut


X ball nut and stepper


X screw clamp. For some reason i asked for 10mm to be added to the mounting face of the stepper mounts. Cant remember exactly why but that's put the 2 screws out of line with the rails. No biggy.
The camp is made of 60mm box section with 2 aluminum wedges inside that clamp of to the screw when bolted together. They also wedge thigh inside the box section. 50mm box section is welded underneath and slide in to the main frame.


This is causing me a few headaches. My plan is to join the Y 2 bearing mounts with a 20mm plate and mount the ballnut mount to that. Im also going to increase the with to 200mm

Alternatively, and this is going to mean major surgery, move the plate joining to 2 X screws together to the back of the black box section and sink them 20mm further in to X uprights. The ballnut mount can be mounted directly to the Z backplate.
