Well, its about ready to go. I've taken the advice and setup the Z Axis with a 2:1 belt drive (very annoyingly I ordered the wrong belt length so just waiting now for the right one to come). Most of the rest of it is complete so once the belt is here its time to take a few trial cuts and see where it is. Y Axis NEMA23 with spindly legs is now mercifully covered up, cover plate for the X Axis next. Hopefully starting to cut some trial parts this weekend.
/p
Appreciate all the advice so far
