Looking good have you drilled the plate for the spindle?

Yeah there are some holes prepared with m8 thread at the lower part of the plate.
Have to order the standard spindle clamp from ebay or maybe have one made ;)

The holes I made for the ballnut bracket are a little low on the plate.. don't really know what I was thinking when I drew that up :D

Generally the bits that have been machined (ie the ends) aren’t that hard as the case hardening is gone. I’ve never had any issue grinding a flat for a screw

Aah thanks!
Will try to fix that then!
Just have to calculate final pulley hight so that I file the right spot ;)

I certainly hope so ;)
Im about to have another child soon so if it sleeps alot I might get lots of time in the shed with the machine :D

Feels like I'm all over the place with the build right now. Been working on bits and pieces of different axis at the same time as planning the electrical enclosure.
If I only focus I probably will get results faster.
Still have to buy toroid, spindle bracket, htd belts and 2 more motor drivers.
Oh! And a suitable screen for the pc.. preferably with some kind of swivel mount :D

Hahahaa you are probably right ;)
I'm betting on that my girlfriend will sleep for 6months after this pregnancy. So the baby's mood will be my problem. Is it legal with valium for newborns in UK? :D
