Both ballscrews are fixed to the frame now. Machined the second gantry side for the ballnut holder. I bought some bigger pulleys for the X axis (40 tooth ones instead of 20 tooth ones) as the standard belt I've got is 2525mm and there's a lot of spare belt with the 20 tooth ones. I'm using an 8.7Nm Nema 34 run with a 240V drive so I'm hoping the extra inertia from the pulleys shouldn't cause too much of a problem?









I've bought the transformer, rectifier, 4 4700uf caps and holders, a 600x600x300 cabinet, loads or bootlace ferrules, wire, din rail and terminals, door interlock....tonnes of stuff but I'm sure not everything i need.

I'll be picking people's brains about the safety relay/s for the safety features...
