    Hi all, This is my small build. Base is made of structural concrete and the rest is just some steel box tubing for the gantry and some 20mm aluminum brackets and plates. Nema23 3nm closed loop steppers, ballscrews etc...

    Work in progress...

    Cheers

    Hi Lee, thanks...
    All the parts were made by this machine. It has evolved over the last year... It all started with a 3018 from aliexpress lol

    Sure... It's not epoxy resin. It's structural concrete with internal steel reinforcements (the same concrete used in bridges, etc).
    So far so good.

    It's already done for you inside the bags.

    The mix is done with fine sand, that's why the finish is not rough. Applied primer, sanded a bit and then painted it. It's not that perfect, but the performance is what matters at the end. :)
