    Brief update on progress, with more photos ....

    Ballscrews machined and fitted. Spindle bracket complete and fitted. Stepper mounts complete and fitted. Energy chain support rails still to do, plus end pieces of baseframe, limit switches, and base plate to fit. Also water cooling system to buy and install.

    Jogged the axes around yesterday and all move well

    May upgrade gantry sides to aluminium, but I'm mainly cutting balsa and lightply so we'll see how it goes.

    Already thinking about version3 :exclaim:
