Nice :D

Really looking forwards to seeing your results with leaning sides..

Surface looks good right now!

oh wow...





Just removed the sides.. the suggestion i read on this forum (Joe H) using a simple packing tape on the sides worked out great. Easy removal of siding and great finish.

Lessons learned:

-My type of epoxy was not delamination proof under 5mm thickness.
Any thickness over 5mm would chip instead of easy peal off.
- Use taped sides, simple packing tape will prevent epoxy binding to sides and will give you great finsh.
- use small kit seam for leak proofing on inside of the sides to steal beam.
- used rich kit seam on the outside.
- use low height sides (20mm above steel is ok) for easy kit application.
- Use extra bracing in tipical H setup bridge.
- check for obvious leaks before pouring.
- acryl kit can stop epoxy leaks on the outside of the siding.
- coat all kit seams with epoxy with a brush to seal up any leaks days before a pour.

- Inward leaning sides have meniscus too.
- not much worse but worse. maybe 7mm instead of 5mm
- Having stable temperature does positively influence surface finish.


ok i have to clean up sides of x axis remove meniscus then i can flip gantry and do the last pour.


Guys, thanx for all the great info accumulated on this forum. I could never have figured out all this stuff by my self.


Grtz..
