    Almost ready to have the aluminium plates made was going to send cad models and discovered that my clone rail has HR15 blocks not HG15 blocks!

    The difference is probably about 8mm in mounting height lol going to need to take some accurate measurement s and rethink the gantry as this is where the HR15 is going.

    the other choice is move some HG carriages across but worried the clone rail will be made of crap steel and proper HG carriages will wear it prematurely so think maybe I should stick with the original carriages for the clone rail.

    Once I have the mounts in pace I can finally start getting movement on the XY&Z axis ;)

    I may never have got on with my Prusa Mendel 3d printer but I could never have had even a chance at building this without it ;)
