John's Alu Profile build

[Evengravy]

This morning two custom ballscrew nut mounts arrived from the CNC service, they came out really well so I followed on to test fit these and the newly welded (ahem) brackets.

With a little to and fro to swap parts out I'm glad to say it all fits as well as I can expect, and boy does the thing feel much more solid now.



I had to massage the brackets a little on the corner to give some wiggle room by adding chamfer the corner of the L to give a millimeter or two clearance.



I'm now just awaiting the new anti-backlash couplers to mate the motors to the new screws and this part should be done. It's been a bit of extra work, but so far I can feel the improvement and I'm glad that I took it on.

If everything goes smoothly then I'll be removing these steel brackets and adding some more internal welds just to beef them up a little before painting them black and refitting. I'll need to start designing the table soon, I may be back to get some advise from you all when I get around to that part.
