So it's time my first machine is replaced, the design is almost complete with just a few things to finalise on the Z axis but parts for the finalised areas are starting to roll in. I've gone for a much more substantial design, Hiwin HGR20's on all axis, gantry features extrusion from Vallder, twin nuts on all C5 leadscrews and concrete in all hollow spaces for that extra strength and dampening. Still well away from the electrical side but either verging on delta for the drive system or hybrid stepper/servos.
A few renders of the design as it's been developing with inspiration from ZeeFlyBoy on his wonderful El Beast design.
This is where we are up to as of today, the rails finally arrived thanks to Fred at BST Automation for his usual super service and delivery in two days! Very happy with how its turning out and its certainly one heavy lump of money!
