Hi All

It's been a long time since I worked on or posted an update on my build. I had to put the parts into storage and my build was delayed as I had to move twice and didn't have the space for the machine. I worked on it in short burst and am now starting to make progress again and attach a few pictures. I used a Openbuilds workbee and initially cut plates from Delrin. I then partly assembled the machine using the Delrin plates and then machine aluminium plates but unfortunately I cannot locate pictures of this interim step. The surface finish though is very bad and I will likely finish these by hand to improve it.

Herewith a couple of pictures to show the current state. Next steps are to complete the wiring in the next week or so.

During assembly I realised that I've not allowed for proper adjustability and one of the first tasks will be to cut two new plates to improve the fore/aft and lateral adjustments.
