Following on from the pictures in the previous post above, another short video of the dry run assembly of the z axis below: https://youtu.be/_0nJBaUaBBA

I still need to make the bracket which fits between the top bearing mount and the z motor mount, the bottom bearing plate and the front z axis plate where the spindle will be mounted.

I'm going to open up the holes on the plates which pull the z bearings forward to allow better alignment. Align them with one another using the dial indicator... the problem is then I cannot get to the bolts which fix the vertical plate to the bearing plate to get that adjusted - wish I had foreseen these problems when designing the thing! Nothing some shims can't fix?!
