Hi from rainy York - build plans/questions

[HiltonSteve]

Sorry, did not get time to do the photo's last night, I went in the workshop and said to missus "I will only be an hour.." four hours later I was still going..!

Anyway. here are the photo's -







Powder coated finish, the colour was what he was painting at the time and actually I quite like it!

The spare XLR connector holes are for limit switch's and 4th axis. Power connector on front is the in/out for the spindle motor, power in is on the rear. 80mm fans front and rear for cooling, sucks the air in at the front and exhausts at the rear.

I have put 10mm standoffs in were all the boards fit so its just a case of screwing them in and wiring up, dead easy!

Looks like an excellent job, very tidy and well laid out. Colour looks good too.
Did you use your machine to do the cut-outs?

This is to run my first machine which is not quite finished yet so I had to use my mates laser cutter.

Chicken and egg scenario...!

But the front panel is stainless or could be made out of aluminium in which case I can make new ones on my machine once I do get it running which should be tonight... Just got to mount my ballnuts and stepper motors, everything made so should be a case of drilling and tapping a few holes, fingers crossed.

Fortunately, I got that out the way last night - the bedroom curtains are in a terrible mess.

At first I say the rainy york post and thought cant be york uk, but no it is.

I've always felt being in york its a little lacking as a 'city' for anyone with a technical interest compared to say leeds or doncaster/barnsley.
