1st Build, Second machine

[m.marino]

Well,

Thomas is settling in just fine and I have been working on the model like a mad man to try to get things done and production back on line. As such you will find attached three jpegs that show the current design with leadscrews and anti-backlash nuts from DumpsterCNC. Stepper motors are not mounted nor are their mounts in the X or Y axis. Not all bolt holes have been put in yet for take apart for piece generation but getting there.

The 1st (a) is the full model minus the above and the gears and belt for Z; 2nd (b) is with table plate removed and Spindle plate of Z removed; 3rd (c) is with the close leg ofthe Gantry removed & the under plate of the Y/Z section. The extrusion you see I already own and they are simply migrating from the old machine to the new. I have not finished the holes for the Bearsing as of yet even though their models are in place, excluding the exterior bearing forthe Y axis (still debating whether to go that route or stick with just the one, leaning heavily on adding the second bearing).

Well with all that said, please constructive opinions please.

I do have to give thanks to Jonathan for a lot of input and also Jazz for some very usefull ideas.



Again thanks for all the knowledge and support in this I have received.

Michael
