New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

[Desertboy]

Mesa 5i25 is already in UK and out for delivery ;) That was quick, need to dig out a pc to fit it in now so I can recover the fusion 360 pc to always boot windows and put it in a heated room, with a table, chairs and most importantly a kettle lol.

Once fitted, I will change the ballscrews to 10mm pitch all round and upgrade the nema's to 3nm (or 4) I'm also going to add 2 pieces of angle steel ground flat to the gantry.

Add a home switch for the Z axis and I think I'm pretty much done with Betty so I can actually use her lol.

Just inside a year, next build will try to be a bit quicker lol.

My package just arrived with the 5i25 but I was driven home by the cold it's below freezing where the machine is it's just too bitter at the moment to be setting stuff up.



Seriously cool
