OpenBuilds Style Build

[WoodKnot]

This is exactly why we say do the research and check out other build threads so you get a feel for what's involved and can make this decision before spending money. It's also why we say DONT BUY ANYTHING until you have a clear plan and understand what your buying.!



No, you are bloody not.!! . .. Told you NOT ON MY WATCH.
Give me a few hours as I'm currently laying it out in CAD to find a workaround and I'll have you sorted out so can still use the parts you have already bought.
We are cutting parts next week and I will shoehorn you some plates into the schedule somehow.

Regards learning CAD or CAM etc, it's just part of the process and when you dive in it's not that difficult (but it's not as simple as loading a picture and cut like you are thinking) however it's not rocket science.

Edit:

Forget the frame for now until we have a solution, Get on with the electrics, make the motors spin on the bench etc, it will cheer you up a bit and motivate again..
(Don't let the magic smoke out)..

I said that you were more stubborn than me!

OK, please don't kick the arse out of it for me -

The one thing that we learn (or should do) as we get older is patience?

Anyway, i have loads of jobs this weekend to catch up on and hopefully all on my new cap screws should arrive today, so i was going to get the linear rails on!

I noted that the sleeve that goes over the ball screw nut is exactly 40mm, so i was going to use these as way to get my rails parallel.

Yes, i have even loaded the CAD software and had a go!

I am in charge of many things in my role, including IT funnily enough.

My initial impressions is that it is not overly intuitive but it is free, so will persevere and watch some more videos on it.

Easel was easy and i was creating projects within 10 minutes that looked really good.

I will also pester A Camera as he uses it

Thank you Jazz! Top Man!

I hope that I am making life more interesting for you
