  1. Got some time tonight to get started on the z-axis ball nut carrier. Got it drilled/bored out to allow the ball screw to pass through, and bored/turned the internal thread for mounting the ball nut.

    Was a bit nerve racking having to unscrew the ball nut of the screw, and nearly let the balls drop out at one point, but thankfully they were well greased which kept them in place til I got the mandrel back in!

    The rest of the machining on the ball nut carrier should now hopefully be pretty striaight forward, so I should hopefully gett it finished this week.
